Having trailed 31-18 early in the second half, the Sharks produced an incredible comeback, with Siya Masuku slotting a crucial 72nd-minute conversion from the touchline to snatch a 32-31 victory at Twickenham Stoop.
Much like that game, this one went down to a battle of the kickers, as Masuku thrived where Clermont’s Anthony Belleau slipped up. Despite playing with 14 men during Fassi’s sin-binning, the Sharks not only avoided conceding a point, but worked the winning try, with their World Cup winners having a hand. Eben Etzebeth soared to win a contestable kick on the halfway line, before Lukhanyo Am set Makazole Mapimpi free for a try in the left corner.
