Its going to be a tough weekend for South African teams in the Champions Cup, with the Bulls in poor form and the Sharks and Stormers venturing into extreme weather conditions for their games.
Below-freezing conditions are expected in the UK due to Storm Goretti moving through Europe, with up to 30cm of snow predicted in the coming days.
The Sharks, playing away to Sale Sharks in Eccles on Saturday 7.30pm, and the Stormers, up against Harlequins at Twickenham on Sunday 3pm, will face more than just their opponents on the field in their third-round Champions Cup clashes.
