Sharks vs Zebre URC preview as the sides meet at Kings Park in Durban.
The Sharks currently sit 10th in the table, and while they can’t reach the top eight, will look to secure their spot in 10th with a win. They could be caught by the Ospreys or Edinburgh below them and will look to prevent that.
Zebre sit at the bottom of the table and can’t reach the Dragons ahead of them. They will be looking to finish on a high to build for next season.
