As the Sharks prepare to take on the Irish powerhouse Leinster this Saturday at Kings Park in the United Rugby Championship, attention will inevitably shift from the players on the field to the coaching staff.
Sharks defence coach Joey Mongalo has praised Leinster senior coach Jacques Nienaber as the "godfather of defence" ahead of their Round Two United Rugby Championship clash at Kings Park on Saturday. The Durban franchise is preparing to face a strengthened Leinster squad featuring Josh van der Flier and Robbie Henshaw, following Leinster's 26-27 defeat to the Lions in Johannesburg.
Mongalo acknowledged the tactical influence of Nienaber's signature rush defence system, noting that the Sharks are implementing a similar high line-speed strategy. The match presents a key test for young Sharks players, including 20-year-old flyhalf Vusi Moyo and fullback Luan Giliomee, against a formidable Leinster team.
