Sharks step up URC preparations with big win over SWD in George
JP Pietersen is pleased with the Sharks' outing to George where they had a pre-URC hit our against the Eagles.
The Sharks have bolstered their United Rugby Championship (URC) preparations with a convincing 66-0 win over South Western Districts (SWD) in George. Coach JP Pietersen expressed satisfaction with the emerging cohesion among the team after the match. The victory provided several players with valuable game time ahead of the URC opener against the Ospreys in September.
Pietersen noted the effective interlinking between forwards and backs, highlighting the side's readiness for the physical challenge posed by the SWD, who are coached by former Springbok and Bulls mentor Heyneke Meyer. The Sharks' strong performance against a well-conditioned SWD squad without any serious injuries is a positive sign for their upcoming URC campaign. Pietersen remains confident that the team is gradually finding its rhythm.
