Franchise Area
The Sharks franchise currently covers the province of KwaZulu-Natal. The two main cities from which most of its players are drawn are Durban and Pietermaritzburg. The two Eastern Cape unions, the Eastern Province Kings and Border Bulldogs were originally part of the franchise. With the formation of the Southern and Eastern Cape franchises, first the Southern Spears and now the Southern Kings, those two unions have now moved into the new franchise.
