John Plumtree’s charges also made history with the win; they became the first South African team to reach the last four of the Challenge Cup. The Sharks finally got on the scoreboard via a Lukhanyo Am converted try. He was able to dot down after Makazole Mapimpi passed the ball to him on the inside after making his way through the Edinburgh defence. The home side then added another converted try via James Venter, who was at the end of a lovely team move.Credit must be given to Edinburgh as they tested the Sharks and put them under a lot of pressure, building momentum from their lack of discipline.
