Everything you need to know about how the SA teams performed in the URC at the weekend 🏉
All four SA sides were in action away from home, and it was expected to be a weekend where at least two of the teams lost, however it ended up being the Bulls who went down, while the Lions surprised many to upset an international laden Edinburgh team.In the Friday night match the Lions just refused to give up, despite Edinburgh scoring three times to take the lead, the Lions hit back each time through Andries Coetzee, Henco van Wyk and Francke Horn.
Playing at inside centre, Mngomezulu slotted all seven of his kicks at goal, four conversions and three penalties, while he also scored a try and assisted one, for a personal haul of 22 points as the Stormers cruised to a 37-20 win. Without their Boks the Sharks were always expected to struggle against Leinster on their home turf, however the SA team will be happy with their attack, but disappointed with their defence, after they kept in touch for most of the game before falling away at the end.
