THE Cell C Sharks, English and European champions Saracens, 2015 Top 14 winners Stade Francais Paris and the Africa Pacific Dragons invitational side will compete in Pool B for next weekend’s World Club 10s in Mauritius.

Former South Africa flanker, Jean Deysel, who participated in the tournament’s launch in February, will captain the Sharks. Fullback Joe Pietersen, hooker, Kyle Cooper, and prop, Dale Chadwick, are among other senior members of the squad.

Ryan Strudwick will be the head coach in Mauritius, while former Sharks stalwart, Jacques Botes, is the team manager.

“Pool B sees us in the company of three other fantastic and highly talented teams. It’s going to be a competitive yet exciting tournament that will highlight the camaraderie and spirit of our beautiful game,” Strudwick said.

Saracens will bid to win a third trophy in three months when they make their World Club 10s debut, having won the European Champions Cup for the first time in April and successfully defended their Premiership title last month.

The World Club 10s will crown a week-long rugby festival also featuring amateur sides competing in supporting events. All of the finals of the supporting tournaments will be held at the main 16 000-capacity Anjalay Stadium on Sunday, June 19.
