The Cell C Sharks tackle the Hurricanes at McLean Park, Napier, NZ
The Sharks' head coach, Robert du Preez, said this game will be tougher than last week.
A NEW Zealand team, the Hurricanes will challenge The Sharks on Friday at 19h35 (NZDT) 09h35 (CAT) in their next Vodacom Super Rugby match.
“After the disappointments of the first two weeks on tour, the boys were hurt, but they were desperate to get a first win on tour. If there had been a lack of effort previously I would have been really worried, but that wasn’t the issue,” said head coach, Robert du Preez.
“Against the Blues the boys brought the effort and the accuracy, so it was much better and I was really pleased with that performance.
“We know this week will be tougher than last week, the Hurricanes are the number one team in New Zealand in my opinion. Our defence and discipline is going to be key.”
