Sharks Prop Nche Excited About Challenge Against Toulouse

Sharks prop, Ox Nche says he cant wait for the challenge of facing French superstar Antoine Du Pont and Toulouse when the Durban side encounter the six-time Champions Cup winners at home in round three of the tournament on Saturday.

Nche, widely regarded as the best loosehead prop in world rugby says he wants to pit himself against the very best, and he says Toulouse will offer what he is looking for.

The Sharks versus Toulouse game in the Champions Cup is expected to be the club version of what South Africa against France is at international level. The Sharks followed up a positive win at home against the Exeter Chiefs with a big loss away from home against the Leicester Tigers in the Champions Cup.

Their next match is against Toulouse, the defending champions, and while it may be in Durban, Nche says the French Champions are expected to bring a full-strength side.

"Toulouse are the current champions in the champions cup and they are absolutely on form currently theyve won two out of two with five points home and away so they have shown their class, they have shown their quality and they are bringing a full strength team to South Africa so I think it is going to be exciting I enjoy testing myself against the best and the best in the world and for me it is something I am looking forward to,"
