There was plenty to cheer about in the Sharks' performance, with the forwards laying the foundation for the victory.
With their scrum dominating the set-pieces and Grant Williams and Siya Masuku pulling the strings at the back, the Sharks proved far too good for their English opponents, winning 36-22 after a thrilling 80 minutes. Fassi though did eventually get binned, for being off sides, and then from the first scrum a few minutes later the Sharks won a penalty and the momentum shifted towards the Durbanites. They quickly won a second scrum penalty, this time on Gloucester ball, and would win two more scrum penalties in the half before the 40 minutes were up.
