Herschel Jantjies of the Stormers during the SuperHero Sunday match between Cell C Sharks and DHL Stormers at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, January 19 2020. Picture: SYDNEY SESHIBEDI/GALLO IMAGESMapimpi‚ who capped a stellar year with some barnstorming performances at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, ran with familiar verve and vigour‚ albeit in a losing cause for the Sharks in the early Super Hero clash at FNB Stadium on Sunday.
They have the early bragging rights thanks largely to staying in touch in the first half when the Sharks looked to stamp their authority on proceedings. The Sharks made the initial inroads‚ eking out valuable territory by battering the gainline. However‚ the deeper they ventured into Stormers territory‚ the greater was the force with which they were met.
The Sharks created more chances but you have to feel for fullback Aphelele Fassi who dotted down what would have been an early candidate for try of the season. He beat four defenders en route to the try line but his effort was ruled out due to obstruction.A second try by Jantjies got the Stormers back in front on the 50 min mark and the Cape Town side seemed to have the game in the bag when Godlen Masimla scored in the 71st minute.
