Super Rugby Highlights Round 17: Sharks vs Sunwolves
- 2068
At the start of this encounter it looked like the Sharks were going to use it as a training game but as quickly as the Sharks scored their 3 tries, the Sunwolves scored 3 of their own, going into the second half only a single conversion behind the Sharks. The Sharks managed to start their second half off with a quick try but then Sunwolves defence allowed them to hold off a clumsy Sharks side and get within 6 points of the home side as they put over a penalty. The Sharks would then run in 2 more tries, looking good for the bonus point win which was foiled by a last minute Sunwolves try. Ultimately this prroved to be a well contested battle between 2 tired sides. Despite the Sunwolves winning the battle of both possession and territory with 61% and 57% respectively, the Sharks 6 tries were too much for the Sunwolves 4 tries.
