Sharks to bank on home advantage
The Mercury
|May 28, 2025
THE Sharks will look not to make it a tight affair on the scoreboard when they face Munster in their first home quarter-final of the United Rugby Championship (URC).
Too often this season, they had some nail-biting results on their way to the play-offs and if it depends on captain Eben Etzebeth, they will want to steer away from that on Saturday. But he added that those close encounters galvanised the side for what awaits in the knockouts.
Munster will stand in their way of a semi-final and according to Etzebeth, they are eager to get things done. A victory will see them stay in South Africa for a potential semi in Durban or a trip to Pretoria to face the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld.
Etzebeth, who has spent a significant chunk of the season on the touchline due to various injuries, says it's weird for him to say his body feels fresh ahead of the knockouts.
