The Sharks were eliminated from the Champions Cup on Saturday when they went down 54-20 to a rampant Toulouse at the Stade Ernest Wallon. | Sport24news
In the early exchanges, a 54-20 scoreline in favour of Toulouse appeared highly unlikely. The Sharks started like a house on fire, dominating territory and possession while the hosts appeared somewhat lacklustre.
Toulouse were on the board in the 23rd minute when Ramos slotted a penalty. It came after Sharks hooker Bongi Mbonambi was pinged for a high tackle on home scrumhalf Dupont. Toulouse launched several attacking forays into Sharks territory and were rewarded when speedster Mallia went over in the corner in the 36th minute .
Bosch slotted the conversion from the corner to see the Sharks trail only 21-17 with 24 minutes remaining.
