Bongi Mbonambi of the Sharks in action during their United Rugby Championship clash against Edinburgh at Kings Park in Durban.Despite playing in terrible weather and a waterlogged pitch, the Sharks and Edinburgh were able to deliver a captivating United Rugby Championship match at Kings Park Stadium in Durban on a rainy Saturday night.
The clash also showed confidence for their primary flyhalf Curwin Bosch is still an issue as he missed crucial kicks that the enterprising pivot normally scores. Edinburgh took advantage of having one more man compared to the Durban-based franchise when they scored the match’s first try on 20 minutes through Kinghorn with Boffelli adding the extras to make it 7-0.
The Durbanites should have at least gone to the break at least 7-6 down but Bosch missed two penalties which were not in bad angles.
