Buthelezi acknowledged Bordeaux’s strong offensive capabilities, noting that they have scored more than 40 points in four of their last six matches. The Sharks are aware of the challenge ahead and are focused on tightening up their defense to contain Bordeaux’s attacking threat.
“Our goal for this week is pretty straightforward. We want to qualify for the round of 16 and we know that we’ve got our work cut out for us,” Buthelezi stated.
Sharks Regroup Mentally after Toulouse Defeat
Reflecting on their loss to Toulouse, Buthelezi expressed disappointment but emphasized the team’s resilience in bouncing back. Despite the defeat, the Sharks are determined to learn from their mistakes and come back stronger in their upcoming match against Bordeaux.
