Reds defend heroically for long-awaited SuperRugby win in Durban SHAvRED
JOHANNESBURG - A clinical Queensland Reds side won a Super Rugby match in Durban for the first time since 2004 by defending bravely to upset the Coastal Sharks 21-14 Friday.
Hooker Kerron van Vuuren and substitute loose forward Jean-Luc du Preez scored a try each for the hosts and they were converted by fly-half Robert du Preez and full-back Curwin Bosch. Sharks skipper and scrum-half Louis Schreuder offered no excuses for the latest setback at home after a 34-point drubbing by the visiting Argentine Jaguares last weekend.
The Reds needed just 104 seconds to take the lead as Hegarty broke clear to score under the posts before converting his try.
