Siya Kolisi scored two tries as the Sharks kicked off the 2024-25 Investec Champions Cup with an emphatic victory against Exeter Chiefs at Kings Park on Saturday.
The Springbok captain accounted for two of the Sharks’ five tries for a 39-21 victory, while Exeter scored three in a match that was sullied by no less than five yellow cards.
An imposing Sharks pack bossed the scrum and collisions, but poor discipline and some sloppy handling squandered the advantage and it was the Chiefs who scored first when hooker Dan Frost burrowed over from short range for a 7-0 lead after 13 minutes. Six minutes into the final quarter, the Sharks lost both starting locks to a yellow card in quick succession. Eben Etzebeth was sent off for a lineout infringement and Emile van Heerden followed him to the sidelines shortly after for collapsing the ensuing Chiefs maul.
