While Sharks prop Ox Nche says there are a lot of similarities between the United Rugby Championship (URC) and European Champions Cup, he believes the latter will be tougher.
The Sharks will make their debut in the Champions Cup — rugby's equivalent of soccer's Uefa Champions League — when they host English side Harlequins at Kings Park on Saturday .
“I think it’s going to be pretty much the same [challenge] because if you look at most of the tries this year from Harlequins they strike well from the set-piece and work hard on the field,” Nche said. “They can do anything on the day — they can kick when you are expecting them to run and they can run when you are expecting them to kick. So they are a bit more unpredictable.
