The Durban team are in the top four, and Du Toit said they will be aiming to keep it that way as they want home ground advantage. The Sharks play Irish sides Connacht at Kings Park on Saturday and Ulster in Ireland on May 20. The Springbok second-rower is pleased at how the SA teams have managed to overturn their tough start to the URC as three — the Sharks, Bulls and Stormers — are in the running for the quarters. While the youthful Lions are not in contention for quarterfinals, they have had a strong performance in the second round of the URC round robin stage.
