The Sharks and Lions’ postponed United Rugby Championship matches from last October will now be played at the end of next month.
The round six fixtures when the Sharks were due to host Ulster and the Lions were set to entertain Glasgow Warriors were called off at the last minute in October due to severe illness in the European teams’ camps.
