The Sharks were dumped out of the Currie Cup semi-finals on Saturday night after the defending champion Pumas emerged 26-20 winners in a thrilling Kings Park clash. | Sport24news
The Pumas have rocked the Sharks in Durban, securing their spot in the 2023 Currie Cup final. The Sharks received a red card in the 65th minute that was a huge blow to their chances.
The match ended with the Sharks camped in the Pumas 22m area having gone through 25 phases of attack, but the Pumas defence was impenetrable in those moments. The Sharks just couldn't any sustained periods of dominance going, however, with a combination of the plucky Pumas spoiling ball and basic errors plaguing their attack.
But where the Pumas were full of energy and expansive running, the Sharks slowly started to gain the upper hand in the battle of the forwards and at set-piece.
