Sharks crush Connacht to book playoff berth

Trailing by 11 points at the interval, the Durbanites produced a monsterous second-half performance to score 31 unanswered points for a convincing 41-21 victory.

Bongi Mbonambi and Marius Louw dotted down after the half-time restart, with Curwin Bosch successfully converting both, to give the Sharks the lead for the second time in the match. Le Roux Roets capped a fine all-round display with the home side’s fifth try, and the triumph for Sean Everitt’s men. Fitzgerald drilled his next shot down the middle, only for Connacht wing John Porch to earn 10 minutes in the sin bin for a high tackle.

And with that a Champions Cup berth 💪🏼
