The Sharks say that they are relishing being seen as the underdogs for today’s Super Rugby final against the Chiefs in Hamilton.
The Chiefs have been given a big boost as captain Craig Clarke has been cleared to play.
The Chiefs host the final at home in Hamilton because of their superior placing in the regular season where they finished second while the Sharks were the sixth and last team to qualify for the playoffs.
The Sharks have since clocked up a Super Finals series travelling record as they crisscrossed the Indian Ocean three times to beat the Reds in Brisbane, the Stormers in Cape Town and then to reach Hamilton.
In the history of Super rugby the Chiefs have a slight edge over the Sharks winning eight of their 15 clashes including their last three matches.
The final kicks off at 7.35 tonight.
