Flyhalf Siya Masuku kicked 18 points as the Sharks fought back to overpower Edinburgh on Saturday in Durban to progress to the Challenge Cup last four for the first time.

Trailing 16-14 at half time, the Sharks scored three tries in a 36-30 win at Kings Park, and will face Clermont Auvergne in the semi-finals on the weekend of 4 and 5 May after the Top 14 outfit romped to victory in France.

Edinburgh flyhalf Ben Healy raised the assistant officials’ flags twice inside the opening 15 minutes from the kicking tee, but the Sharks took the lead for the first time of the quarter-final before the close of the first quarter after Lukhanyo Am ran a good line in support of fellow Springbok flyer Makazole Mapimpi, the skipper dotting down near the uprights for Masuku to add the extras.
