THE NECESSARY STRATEGIC PLANNING WITH A VIEW TO EFFECTIVELY MEETING THE CHALLENGE POSED BY PROVINCE TODAY.

Next week, the Cell C Sharks Currie Cup outfit will head upcountry to take on the Lions in Johannesburg, before returning to Hollywoodbets Kings Park for two consecutive and, indeed, very important home games - against the champion Pumas and Bulls.

Thereafter, in the third week of April, the boys hit the road again to tackle the equally impressive Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.

A good win against WP this afternoon will therefore set the Cell C Sharks up perfectly for the long and winding road ahead, as well as provide the necessary impetus for building vital momentum in the Currie Cup.
