The Sharks on Sunday announced the signings of three new players, including Wallabies centre Ben Tapuai, ahead of the first-ever United Rugby Championship (URC), due to get under way in September. Tapuai is a former Reds Super Rugby star who spent six years in Brisbane where he accumulated 64 appearances, before adding a further 12 with the Western Force. During that time, he made seven Test appearances for the Wallabies between 2011 and 2012. No stranger to success, he played in the 2011 Super Rugby final won by the Reds and more recently in Harlequins’ Premiership final victory last month. 25-year-old Keyter, meanwhile, recently impressed against the Sharks in the opening round of the Currie Cup and is currently the top try-scorer in the competition with six touchdowns.
