Durban, 21st April 2019: A 27-man Cell C Sharks touring squad will depart on a three-week Australasian tour today.
Head Coach, Robert du Preez has opted to take 16 forwards and 11 backs on tour. The tour opener will be in Parramatta against the Waratahs, before the team heads over to New Zealand to take on the Crusaders and finally the Chiefs before returning home.
The Cell C Sharks have always enjoyed touring and after a disappointing stretch of results at home, the team will look to refocus and get their campaign back on track.
