    Notes:
    Quotes from Head Coach, Robert du Preez.

    “This match is hugely important and it’s not about maintaining a hold on our log position, but also about building momentum and confidence.  This was supposed to be our momentum phase but we’re back to square one again so we need a win to get us back on track. And we need a proper win, it needs to be an all-out great performance and that will set us up nicely for the three derbies we have at home.”

    Interesting Facts

  • Johan Deysel will be making his first start in a Cell C Sharks jersey;
  • The Cell C Sharks have conceded only three tries in the opening quarter of games this campaign, the equal fewest of any team in the competition;
  • Going into round 13 of the competition, Ruan Botha is still ranked first for the most lineouts won (53, incl. steals) in the competition.
