The completion of Super Rugby is a fading reality for Sharks coach Sean Everitt but when rugby in some form resumes, the Sharks will be ready for action.
Everitt says: “Everything is unclear at the moment - nobody knows how long it will take for the pandemic to lift but I suppose when we do have rugby, the natural thing would be for each (Super Rugby) country to have domestic competitions. “Personally I can’t see Super Rugby being finished from a logistical point of view - there are too many games (still to be played) and too much travel.
The Sharks are currently top of the Super Rugby pile with the competition just short of the halfway mark, and with the form they are in they are/were heavyweight contenders for the title.
Everitt adds: “We were in a good spot and would have liked to carry on playing, but the correct decisions have been made.With every passing day the world is seeing how real this virus is and how measures have to be taken to prevent it spreading.”
