With their 41-21 win against Connacht at Kings Park on Saturday, the Sharks moved themselves into third on the United Rugby Championship log, but they did it the hard way. | Sport24news
The end result looks comfortable with five tries to two as the hosts kept the game visitors scoreless in the second stanza, but some soft moments from Sean Everitt's side somehow allowed the men in green to take a 21-10 half-time.
Where the Sharks were sloppy in the first half, Connacht were sharp with two tries through Gavin Thornberry and Caolin Blade, with Conor Fitzgerald's boot ensuring the Sharks' transgressions were punished from a three-point perspective.
