Sharks coach Plumtree upbeat despite injury woes

SHARKS coach John Plumtree is confident his side is prepared for their United Rugby Championship opener against Glasgow Warriors, despite missing key Springbok stars due to international duty.

(AFP)

The Sharks begin their 2025/26 URC campaign with an away match against the Glasgow Warriors on Friday, travelling with a 29-man squad for a three-match European tour that also includes fixtures against the Dragons and Leinster.

“I’m happy with the way we've prepared under some real challenges, so yep, we’re good to go,” Plumtree said, at a media conference on the eve of departure.

“There's potentially a front row that hasn't played together, two locks that haven’t combined before, and a 9-10 partnership that’s new, so there are a few challenges.
