Growthpoint Kings Park plays host to this all South African Super Rugby clash between the Sharks and the Lions.

They have played each other 11 times in Durban , with the Sharks winning ten of those and the Lions managing 1 win. Last time these two side met , the Lions trumped the Sharks narrowly 23-21 at the home of the Lions. The game promises to be a close encounter with both sides looking to get some much needed momentum to get their campaigns on the up. Lions are a far cry from the side that lost 9 games on the trot in Durban and have in the past not been able to score more than 12 points against the Sharks. The Sharks were on a Bye last week and will look to get up to speed again in this match and try to improve their try scoring record in the competition thus far.
