Cape Town - Sharks Director of Rugby Gary Gold has apologised to their fans after a humiliating 52-10 defeat to the Crusaders in Durban at the weekend.
The Sharks were booed off the field by the Kings Park faithful after a lacklustre performance which also saw them receive a third red card in as many matches.
Flank Jean Deysel was sent off shortly before half-time when he kneed Crusaders' loose forward Matt Todd in the back of the head. At that stage, the Crusaders were down to 12 men, having received three yellow cards.
