Cell C Sharks take on Griquas in Kimberley on Friday
Discipline will be important for The Sharks, undeafeated in seven matches.
THE undefeated in seven matches Cell C Sharks gear up to meet the Griquas in Kimberley.
“We chatted about how tough this fortnight of matches was going to be, especially since we were up against two teams who play an abrasive style of rugby,” said head coach, Robert du Preez.
“Our players showed a lot of character to grind out a win against the Pumas and the positive contribution from our bench has to be applauded.

“The Griquas will follow a similar approach and are always difficult at home. Discipline is going to be important.
“We are proud of the fact that we’re undefeated in seven matches.
“Despite this achievement, there is still so much more that this team is capable of. We are entering the business end of this competition and it’s time for us to take our performances up another gear.
“The hunger and passion amongst this group of players is evident and the players need to translate that into a complete performance.”
