- The Jaguares have won their last five games on the bounce, of which three came after trailing at the half-time interval.
- The Sharks have lost six of their last seven games away from home; however, they have managed to pick up a losing bonus point in five of those six defeats.
- The Jaguares have kicked 10 penalty goals within the opening quarter of games this season, more than any other team in the competition.
- Lwazi Mvovo made a round-high 115 metres in Round 14, his most in a single game since Round 13, 2017 (152m).
