The Sharks held their nerve to secure a tense Vodacom URC victory at Edinburgh on Saturday.

The Sharks held their nerve to secure a tense victory against Edinburgh at the DAM Health Stadium on Saturday evening.

In a back-and-forth game in which both teams committed to throwing the ball around and showed a willingness to run from deep, it was the Durbanites who sneaked into a narrow lead and then rolled up their sleeves to defend it. Williams opened the scoring dotting down from halfway, demonstrating his electrifying pace after a well-read intercept before Potgieter made the numerical advantage count as his opposite Wes Goosen was sent to the naughty chair allowing him to canter over.

Immelman’s try, capping off a long-range counter-attack for a 19-14 lead at the break, marked the Scottish side’s final points of the match.
