Phepsi Buthelezi on facing the Bulls at Loftus

Phepsi Buthelezi and some of his younger teammates have been inspired by the strong Springbok contingent in the Sharks squad. Buthelezi, an energetic flank who played one Test for the Boks last year, believes the high number of Test stars in the Sharks' ranks has had a positive impact on the squad.

Buthelezi told the hosts of 'To The Last Drop' the Sharks are ready to meet the stiff challenge likely to be presented by the Vodacom Bulls in their URC derby clash in Pretoria on Saturday. He also proudly spoke about his hometown Hluhluwe in northern KZN and what it means to him to represent them.
