Phepsi Buthelezi admits the Sharks will “have our work cut out for us” against Bordeaux on Sunday.
The Sharks go into their final Investec Champions Cup pool fixture on the back of a 20-8 home defeat to Toulouse.
They are five log points ahead of winless Ulster and Exeter – who play each other on Friday – and also have a superior points difference. The Sharks could therefore lose to Bordeaux without picking up a bonus point, and potentially still qualify for the playoffs. The Sharks arrived in southwestern France on Tuesday and the contrast to their home city couldn’t have been starker.
