The Sharks host the Ospreys at Hollywoodbets Kings Park on Friday night (7pm) in a homecoming United Rugby Championship fixture after hard-fought wins in Edinburgh and Belfast consolidated their fourth position on the URC points ladder.

"It has been gritty, not pretty, but it says a lot about the character of the team, and we believe the cohesion we want is not far off," Mongalo said before explaining why the Sharks appear disjointed at this late stage of the season.
