On Saturday, the Sharks will take on French side Clermont in the Challenge Cup semi-final at Twickenham Stoop in London.
Left with nothing to gain in the Vodacom URC, with a top eight finish out of reach, the Sharks have pooled their full focus into the Challenge Cup, becoming the first South African team to progress to the semi-finals of an EPCR competition. “It would definitely be a success,” Am said. “Next season, we do want to win more silverware. From where we started, to where we are right now, we have grown tremendously as a team and a squad.
“This is the game of rugby. Sometimes things do work out and sometimes they don’t. All our energy right now is in the EPCR playoff.”
