Let's Goooo SHARKS

Ultimate Rugby May 5

The Sharks seem to be a boggy side for the Highlanders, they have won 4 of their previous 5 matches away to the Highlanders. However, the Highlanders have considerably better stats this season. The Highlanders have had more clean breaks, beaten more defenders and have a superior scrum, lineout and ruck success rate.
