Hendrikse expects ‘personal’ Munster battle
Post
|March 18, 2026
SHARKS flyhalf Jordan Hendrikse says the Durbanites are expecting something “personal” from Munster on Saturday (kickoff Spm) when the Irish side revisits the scene of the epic penalty shootout, after the teams had finished the United Rugby Championship quarterfinal locked at 24-24.
Jordan's brother Jaden was the centre of high drama when TV footage showed him winking at Munster kicker Jack Crowley, while Hendrikse was being treated for camp after taking his second shot at goal. Irish fans were outraged and accused Jaden of a gamesmanship tactic to disrupt Crowley’s concentration.
Crowley nailed his kick, but it did not matter as Rory Scanell had missed an earlier attempt and Sharks substitute Bradley Davids stepped up and slotted a kick to win the Sharks the shootout 6-4.
“That was rugby’s first penalty shootout. It was unique to be in it, but we know that it will be a personal return to Durban for Munster,” Hendrikse said.
