  • The Sharks side to take the field on Saturday is a Springbok-laden team that hosts Exeter Chiefs in a first round Champions Cup clash at Kings Park.

Eben Etzebeth, the Springbok lock, is set to make a comeback for the Sharks in their upcoming Champions Cup match against Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park. Etzebeth, who has been sidelined due to a knee injury since the Rugby World Cup, is expected to bolster the Sharks' lineup significantly. His return is timely as the Sharks aim to secure a spot in the knockout stages of the competition. The team has had a mixed season, with notable wins but also facing challenges, particularly in their recent loss to Toulouse. The Sharks are currently in a precarious position in Pool 4, needing a victory to advance. Meanwhile, Exeter Chiefs, despite their own injury concerns, are preparing to face the Sharks with a strong lineup, including key players like Henry Slade and Dafydd Jenkins.
