Prop Vincent Koch said the Sharks can expect a highly motivated Edinburgh outfit under the stewardship of former coach Sean Everitt when the teams clash on Saturday.

The Sharks host the Scottish outfit in round 13 of the Vodacom URC at Kings Park. The Durbanites climbed off the foot of the table to 14th spot with victory over Ulster last week, while Edinburgh slipped to sixth place after defeat at the DHL Stormers.

He returns to Durban having parted ways with the union he served for 15 years, and speaking in a Sharks conference on Tuesday, Koch believes the 53-year-old will “want to prove a point”. “ I’ve been part of teams and when I left, I had to play against them and of course I had extra motivation to perform against them. When he comes here, he will definitely want to prove a point.“He will psych his players up to a level where he wants it to be. At the end of the day, he wants a result as well, so if he can have a nice pre-game chat, he will throw that in there as well.”

“They rested most of their Scottish internationals so it’s going to be a completely different team to the one that played against the Stormers,” Koch added.
