Since then the Sharks have firmly been on the up, winning three of their four URC games, while also winning three out of four Champions Cup games.
The Sharks themselves have had their struggles this season and after a disheartening 35-0 drubbing at home against Cardiff at the end of November, they let go of coach Sean Everitt and replaced him with Director of Rugby Neil Powell.
Powell explained that the team was looking to put things right this weekend after the Harlequins loss. “It was not the result that we were looking for against Harlequins. So the guys are really keen to go out there this weekend and rectify all the mistakes we made in that match,” said Powell. “But it is a different conditions and a different pitch as well. I think the artificial pitch is something to get used to. We did as much training as we could this week on an artificial pitch just to understand what we will get on the weekend.
“So the preparations have gone well and hopefully we can carry over that good work in training into the game and get a good result against Edinburgh.”
