Saracens versus Sharks

Saracens will play the Sharks, from South Africa, at Allianz Park on Saturday 25 January, 2014. The match between the Premiership leaders and the Currie Cup champions will present a rare opportunity to assess the relative strengths of club rugby in the northern and southern hemisphere.

Mark McCall, Director of Rugby, said: “Our players will enjoy the challenge presented by a full-strength Sharks team, packed with Springboks like Bismarck du Plessis and Francois Steyn, and it’s sure to be a fantastic rugby occasion at Allianz Park.”

John Smit, CEO of the Sharks, said: “It will be a wonderful experience for our players to travel to London and play at Allianz Park. The match is a crucial part of our preparations for the new Super XV season and it will also be the first match in charge for our new coach, Jake White.”
