Sharks Eye Reset at Home as Kolisi, Etzebeth and Nche Return

Coach John Plumtree targets a response through Kings Park support with senior Springboks available.

Overview

  • The Sharks sit 13th in the URC on two points after a 35-19 loss to Glasgow, a 17-17 draw with Dragons and a 31-5 defeat to Leinster.
  • They return to Kings Park to face Ulster this weekend and Scarlets the following week, opponents they beat last season and against whom they hold 2-1 URC records.
  • The club confirmed Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth and Ox Nche are available for selection for the upcoming home matches.
  • Head coach John Plumtree called the next fortnight a "massive job" and said the team must work hard to get back into the competition.
  • Plumtree identified shortcomings against Leinster, citing five tries conceded, subpar set-piece and general play, and a costly early 21-0 deficit.
