Springbok star Eben Etzebeth is back from injury and determined to contribute to the remainder of the Sharks' season.
It’s been an extremely challenging season to date for the Sharks, with just one win in the United Rugby Championship leaving them rock bottom in the standings.
After recently receiving the SA Rugby Player of the Year award, the powerful lock confirmed he would soon be available, and his presence at a media engagement on Tuesday indicated as much. The Sharks’ next URC match is against Irish side Ulster in Durban on Saturday, 23 March , which will be followed by a visit from Edinburgh .
