The Sharks kept the South African flag flying on the opening round of the Champions Cup last weekend, which saw defeats for the Stormers and the Bulls.
There is little room for any rest for South Africa’s leading players, and another intense round of action lies ahead.
All three SA teams will be in action on Saturday, with the Bulls hosting the Northampton Saints (kick off at 15:00) at Loftus.
Meanwhile, the Sharks will be hoping to continue their resurgence when they travel away to face the dangerous Leicester Tigers (kick off at 19:30 SA time).
A busy Saturday then ends off with the Stormers playing away against Harlequins, with the injury hit Cape side desperate for a much-needed win. Kick off is at 22:00.
Here are all the kick off times to note in the Champions Cup this weekend:
Looking back at last weekend, the Sharks started the weekend on a bright note when they defeated Exeter Chiefs 39-21 in Durban on Saturday afternoon.
However, that was to be the only win of the weekend as the Stormers lost 24-14 to Toulon on the same day at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, and that was followed by the Bulls’ 27-5 evening defeat to Saracens in London.
In the EPCR Challenge Cup, Perpignan kicked a late equaliser to deny the Cheetahs a famous victory in Amsterdam, while the Lions found the going tough against the Ospreys in Llanelli.
