Ethan Hooker brings up 50 for the Hollywoodbets Sharks, and Nick Hatton leads the side as the European tour ends against Munster at Thomond Park on Saturday.
The Hollywoodbets Sharks will close out a tough but rewarding three-week European tour of France, Wales and Ireland when they take on Munster in Limerick in a fifth-round Vodacom United Rugby Championship clash on Saturday.
