The Sharks will seek to bounce back on the weekend when they tackle Cardiff in Wales in the United Rugby Championship.
On Sunday the Sharks were hammered 66-12 by Bordeaux in France in the Champions Cup and this led to their being relegated to the EPCR Challenge Cup where they will play in the round of 16.
The Sharks also lost their previous URC game when they went down 24-20 to the Stormers in Cape Town.
The Bethlehem-born Springbok hooker, Bongi Mbonambi, said this is a big week for them as a team.
