It’s sink or swim time for the Cell C Sharks as Munster arrive in Durban for a Vodacom URC final-round shootout on Saturday.
A roller-coaster campaign has left the Springbok-powered Sharks in eighth place going into the 18th and final round of the 2022-23 season.
With Munster arriving on the east coast fresh from a historic victory over the DHL Stormers in Cape Town, the Sharks will need the power of their full contingent of Springboks.Leading the way for the men from Durban is Bok skipper Siya Kolisi, who has assumed the club captaincy since returning from a pre-World Cup training camp.
However, Munster will be in no mood to hand Kolisi a winning farewell. The Irish club quelled the Stormers in Cape Town to become the first team to take a full house of points away from Cape Town Stadium since December 2021.The last time Munster were in Durban was for the Champions Cup round of 16, when they were manhandled by the Sharks in a 50-35 loss.
