Vowles backs Sharks XV to finish Currie Cup in style against battling Bulls

Sharks coach Mike Vowles is optimistic that his team can finish the Currie Cup pool campaign in style against the Bulls at Hollywoodbets Kings Park on Friday night. The Sharks have steadily improved throughout the campaign, and Vowles believes they are close to delivering a complete performance. In their recent 22-22 draw with the Lions, the coach praised the effort, fight, and overall performance of his team.

To secure a playoff spot, the Sharks must beat the Bulls, ideally with a bonus point, while also hoping for favorable results elsewhere in the competition. Vowles, however, wants his players to focus on winning the game first, rather than chasing a bonus point. The Sharks currently sit seventh on the points table, three points behind Boland Cavaliers.

Vowles has maintained a relatively unchanged lineup, with a few minor adjustments to the loose trio. The Bulls, despite being winless, have been prolific in tries and bonus points, making them a formidable opponent. Vowles expressed excitement about playing at the Tank, acknowledging it as a privilege and looking forward to the challenge.
