Munster will travel to Durban in the quarter-finals of the BKT United Rugby Championship, taking on the Sharks on Saturday 31 May, with kick-off at 5.30pm Irish time.
The province secured their play-off place with a 30-21 win against Benetton in Cork on Friday night, and will now return to Hollywoodbets Kings Park later this month for a meeting with the Sharks.
It will be Munster's second game away to the Sharks this season, losing 41-24 back in October in what proved to be Graham Rowntree’s final game in charge.
The Sharks' 12-3 win against Scarlets this evening saw Munster finish ahead of the Welsh side in sixth place overall, while the Sharks leapfrogged Glasgow into the third seed, after the Warriors lost 13-5 to Leinster in Dublin.
The play-off picture was confirmed on Saturday night after Leinster’s win against Glasgow. Leo Cullen’s side will take on Scarlets in their quarter-final, with a 3pm kick-off on Saturday 31 May.
Leinster’s status as top seed gives them home advantage for as long as they remain in the competition, and would host either Glasgow or Stormers in the semi-finals should they get there.
On the other side of the draw, the winner of Munster's quarter-final against the Sharks will face either the Bulls or Edinburgh, with home advantage going to the higher seeded team.
