New-look Sharks packed and set for Super action
The Sharks will do a fair amount of travelling for their first three games of the new Super Rugby campaign, but it is something assistant-coach Sean Everitt says they are prepared for. The Sharks leave on Thursday for Australia, where they will be starting their journey against the Reds on February 24 in Brisbane before travelling to Canberra to face the Brumbies the following week. They complete the first session of their Australian engagements in Durban against the 2014 champions, the Waratahs, on March 11. "Having a young team and going with it into the unknown is always a difficult thing, but I think the boys are up for the challenge. We’ve worked out our goals over the three weeks with the three Australian teams‚" Everitt said. "We’re seeing the travelling as a positive because it’s good to get the group together very early‚ because it helps to build the team spirit very quickly. It’s also good to get the tour done very early."
