We have solid plan to beat Connacht, says Sharks skipper Tshituka

AFTER the Sharks’ unfortunate start to the United Rugby Championship and the resulting turbulence off the field, the November break from the competition is the best thing that could have happened to them.

The Durbanites languish in 13th place with one win from five matches, and a play pause has meant they can take a deep breath and press the restart button ahead of their two-match tour to Connacht and Toulouse.

Captain Vincent Tshituka agrees that the break they have had while the Springboks have been touring has been a blessing.

“It’s been really good to have a bit of time off and actually prepare properly for this challenge against Connacht,” he explained. “The guys have put in a lot of hard work to fix the errors from the beginning of the season, and there's been a really positive vibe going into this game.”
