Bosch gets the match underway

The Sharks host the Lions in round 17 of Super Rugby. The Sharks have won 5 of their 13 matches to currently lie third in the South African Conference. They will be desperate for a win to keep their wildcard hopes alive. The Lions have recorded 8 victories from 14 matches to sit atop the South African Conference. A win will give them some breathing room from the second placed Jaguares.
