The Sharks snatched away their five game losing run in the United Rugby Championship thanks to a 22-12 win over Ulster.
'I’m just happy for the players; it’s been frustrating times for a lot of people here, including staff.'
“There’s certainly a lot of relief, it’s just good to see a lot more smiles, it’s been pretty tough,” Plumtree told the media. Captain Lukhanyo Am, Eben Etzebeth, Jaden Hendrikse, Makazole Mapimpi and substitutes Ox Nche and Vincent Koch played a key role in the game. “That’s what those big players can do. They have a knock-on effect on the other players, and they lift them. All of a sudden we saw aspects of our game we hadn’t had working up to now; our scrum was better and our mauling, too,” said Plumtree.
