The Cel C Sharks meet The Force head on at home
"We want to carry on from where we let off last week, be positive and more clinical with our execution" - Cell C Sharks'head coach, Robert du Preez.
THE Cell C Sharks will take on the Western Force in Saturday’s Vodacom Super Rugby clash at Growthpoint KINGS Park.
“The passion and courage our players showed last week to grind out an important win against a battle hardened test team at their fortress was special and showed the character of our team,” said head coach, Robert du Preez.
“The Force pushed the Lions right until the final whistle last week and we know that once they get their tails up they can be difficult to stop. We want to carry on from where we let off last week, be positive and more clinical with our execution.
“We let our fans down a fortnight ago at home and we don’t want to do that again. Hopefully our performance this weekend will make them proud.”
