The Sharks CEO John Smit said “We are very excited to again take our team to the UK and build on the incredible support we get there from our ex-pats and locals alike. Saracens are a good fit for us as an English club with a strong South African flavour.
“It’s always good to learn from other teams and share ideas and we could think of no one better than Saracens.”
Mark McCall, Director of Rugby at Saracens added: “Our players will enjoy the challenge presented by a full-strength Cell C Sharks team and it is sure to be a fantastic rugby occasion at Allianz Park.”
This will be the first match that Jake White will take charge of at The Sharks and will form a crucial part of the Sharks’ preparation for the start of the Super Rugby season.
