The Sharks ended a poor recent run against the Bulls with a 23-15 win over their South African rivals in Friday's Super Rugby clash.
S'busiso Nkosi and Sanele Nohamba ran in second-half tries as the Sharks overturned a half-time deficit to kick off their Super Rugby campaign with a 23-15 victory over the Bulls.
The Sharks had failed to win any of their previous nine meetings with their South African rivals and trailed 9-6 at the interval in Friday's clash at Kings Park.
Morne Steyn, making his first Super Rugby start since 2013, kept the Bulls in contention throughout with four penalties and a drop goal, but the second Sharks try made the game safe.
One of the moments of the game was Warrick Gelant's clearance kick that smashed his fellow teammate Johnny Kotze in the face!
