Sharks preseason training underway

Wednesday, November 25 The 2009 season is only just over and already an exciting 2010 rugby season beckons with preseason training now underway and preseason warm-up games planned for late January.

The Sharks regulars have had just over a month’s total break and have now reassembled at The Absa Stadium Durban, while the Boks will be given an extended break following the conclusion of the Springbok end of year tour to rest their weary bodies.

Next year’s challenging Vodacom 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 from Perth, Australia.

The triangular “friendly” warm-up series takes place in Cape Town with The Sharks meeting the Force on 26 January and the Stormers three days later on the 29th with the Stormers and Force meeting on 23 January.

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 Sharks.
