The Sharks had taken an early 14-0 lead through tries from Grant Williams and Marnus Potgieter, but the hosts fought back through an Adam McBurney brace and a try from Henry Immelman to take a 19-14 half-time lead. "We're proud of the boys for the character, effort, and fight they showed in this game," Powell said.

"We made the game unstructured, and it suited their way of playing and that allowed them to come back into the game."The Sharks' win was South Africa's only success of the weekend, with the Bulls, Stormers, and Lions all dropping points against the Scarlets, Ulster, and Connacht respectively.
