Resurgent THESTORMERS sink unbeaten TheSharksZA in the 'Shark Tank'
CAPE TOWN – The Stormers, the underdogs, lead from start to finish to inflict a 16-11 defeat over the hitherto unbeaten Sharks in the South African Super Rugby derby at Kings Park in Durban on Saturday.
Flyhalf Robert du Preez opened the Sharks' scoring account with a 15th-minute penalty after the Stormers were blown up for a scrum infringement . An almighty tussle at JONSSON KINGS PARK sees the DHL Stormers come out on top in the end as they grind out the win. It wasn't pretty, but it was hard fought for the duration, with both sides refusing to budge. #SHAvSTO#WakandaForever #OurSharksForever pic.twitter.com/NAFuGP2Fkd Marais missed another penalty in the 26th minute and yet another scoring chance went begging at a time when the Stormers were enjoying almost total dominance.
In the process of the breakdown play, the Sharks suffered a second yellow-card offence and this time hooker Akker van der Merwe was sent to the sin-bin moments before the sides changed ends with the visiting Stormers taking a 13-3 halftime lead. There was continued Sharks pressure in ensuing play and they managed to reduce the deficit with another Du Preez penalty in the 49th minute .
