Sharks turn focus to Sale after Lions setback
The Star
|January 05, 2026
IT’S shark week in the Investec Champions Cup, and JP Pietersen’s charges won't have long to nurse the deep wound inflicted on them by the Lions in the United Rugby Championship this weekend, with a mouthwatering clash against the Sale Sharks looming next Saturday.
The Sharks head coach tasted victory in his first match in charge of the Durban franchise with an impressive 28-23 home win over a powerful Saracens side in round two of European rugby’s premier competition, and he will be desperate to rediscover that winning formula when his team travels to the CorpAcq Stadium in Manchester.
Saturday's one-point defeat to the Lions at Kings Park was a bitter pill to swallow, particularly after the hosts showed resilience and attacking intent in a fiercely contested derby.
Pietersen was proud of the fight his team showed after falling behind early against their arch-rivals, yet there is plenty more to be positive about.
