The Sharks and Lions are slated to play a Super Rugby match at Kings Park in Durban, South Africa on March 8.
Kick-off is scheduled for 5:10 p.m. local time, or 6:10 a.m. on March 9 in New Zealand time.
The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in New Zealand, SuperSport in South Africa, Fox Sports in Australia, and Sky Sports 2 in the United Kingdom.
The winner of the contest will likely be atop the South Africans conference after the match, according to a preview of the game on the league’s website.
