John Plumtree is delighted for Sharks fans who have something to celebrate following a historic win in Durban on Saturday that secured their team a place in the Challenge Cup semi-finals for the first time.
Springbok double world champions Lukhanyo Am and Bongi Mbonambi, as well as flanker James Venter, crossed the whitewash while flyhalf Siya Masuku kicked 18 points to set up a blockbuster playoff with three-time winners Clermont Auvergne on the weekend of 3-5 May. “There’s probably going to be some changes next week, we’ve had a few guys who’ve had a big workload. So we’ll freshen up and then start our prep.
“It’s a big stage against a quality French side , so that’s something for us to really build towards.”“This was always going to be a tough challenge, playing Edinburgh again two weeks later, and I’m really proud of the coaches who’ve been working really hard,” the head coach added.
