PHOTOS: Auckland support for Sharks

Donavan Chetty, who moved the New Zealand in 2005, told me that he had purchased ten tickets for the Vodacom SupeRugby match between the Sharks and Blues at North Harbour Stadium today. Chetty added that he will be supporting the Sharks.

Shauna Eldridge left Durban for New Zealand in 2009 and will also be shouting for the visitors in Auckland.

Byron Elrick is another former South African who will be supporting the Sharks.

They are among the fans who spoke to me from New Zealand.

Kickoff is at 09h35 South African time this morning.
