Right now the Sharks are down in 14th place on the 16-team log after recording just one win out of three, a late, late victory against the Dragons in Newport, to go with defeats to Connacht in Ireland and Benetton in Italy.

But this weekend, the Sharks are back on home soil and in familiar surroundings when they host the defending champions, Glasgow Warriors, and that's followed by a match against Munster, champions from the 2022/23 season, before the competition breaks for the November internationals in Europe.
