As much as you’d be tempted to ask what had happened to the Lions, the question equally worth asking is where have these Sharks been thus far this season?

It wasn’t so much that the Sharks won this Super Rugby match, it was the manner in which they man handled the team that until recently dominated the South African conference.

After bashing away at the Lions in the first 20 minutes without making a dent on the scoreboard, they suddenly and decisively, yanked the match in their favour in the next 20. The Lions, again in their Spiderman jerseys failed to rid themselves of the cobwebs that set in when they had a bye last week.

Coenie Oosthuizen too put in a shift while bean pole Hyron Andrews moved around with a bulging chest.
