Sharks vs Harlequins Preview
This is another game that feels like a coin flip. The Sharks have a very strong outfit but have not quite put in the performances this season, but this is the Harlequins first trip to South Africa.

Head to Head
This will be the first meeting between the Sharks and Harlequins.
Sharks Form
This will be the Sharks first foray into the European Champions Cup but fortunately they can open up at home. This season has not gone according to plan for the Sharks after making the playoffs of the URC last season.
The Durban-based franchise had their coach resign a couple of weeks ago after a humiliating home defeat to Cardiff. They did bounce back last week to beat the Ospreys 25-10 at home.
Much money has been spent at the Sharks over the last year but there seems to be a struggle to get the players to gel. That said, the Sharks have world class players, mostly internationals across the park and on their day can beat anyone.
Sharks Team News
The Sharks will have more international players back this weekend. Expect to see the majority start as they look to build some confidence in what has been an average year to date.
Harlequins Form
Harlequins have made a very good start to their season in the Rugby Premiership. They are third on the table on 30 points with six wins and three defeats from nine matches.
Over their last five matches, the Harlequins have won four, including their last two. They beat Gloucester 21-12 at the end of November before defeating Bath 19-13 away last weekend.
While the Champions Cup isn’t new to the English side, traveling to South Africa is. While some players have made international appearances in the Republic, it is a new ball-game at club level.
Harlequins Injuries
Harlequins have traveled with a strong squad of players. They are expected to field a full strength side.
