A powerful Sharks team will be looking to book a spot in the Challenge Cup final with a win over Clermont on Saturday.
The Sharks’ United Rugby Championship playoff hopes have already been dashed, but this will mark a significant occasion for the KwaZulu-Natalians to earn some redemption in a season of mixed fortunes.
Am said the Durbanites are excited for the semi-final in London, adding, “In games like this, it’s about getting the best prep and we’ve done a great deal to put ourselves in this position and once you’re in the changeroom, it’s about having confidence in the prep you’ve done. “We back our set piece against a good Clermont set piece and they do mix it up between forwards and backs, which is the same with us. So it’s definitely going to be an exciting game.15 Aphelele Fassi, 14 Werner Kok, 13 Lukhanyo Am , 12 Ethan Hooker, 11 Makazole Mapimpi, 10 Siya Masuku, 9 Grant Williams, 8 Phepsi Buthelezi, 7 Vincent Tshituka, 6 James Venter, 5 Emile van Heerden, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Vincent Koch, 2 Bongi Mbonambi, 1 Ox Nche.
