The Sharks players, who are currently on Bok duty, will be given an extended break following the conclusion of the end of year tour to rest their weary bodies.
Next year’s challenging Super 14 has The Sharks away on tour for five weeks against the likes of the Crusaders, Waratahs, Brumbies, Hurricanes and Highlanders, crossing the Tasman Sea four times over the course of their Australasian sojourn and they expect to get the perfect preparation under way against two equally competitive teams – the Stormers and Western Force.
The triangular “friendly” warm-up series takes place in Cape Town with The Sharks meeting the Force on January 26 and the Stormers three days later, with the Stormers and Force meeting on January 23 .
The Sharks played the Pumas and Bulls’ second-stringers in their preseason matches at the start of this year after a warm-up match in Dubai against the Cheetahs was cancelled and with the Stormers and Western Force providing ample competition in the triangular warm-up series, 2010’s preparations should be ideal for the coastal franchise.
