Bosch makes light of Lambie absence in Sharks victory
By Harry West
Curwin Bosch was the unlikely hero, scoring 27 points as Sharks overcame Waratahs 37-14 in Super Rugby on Saturday.
The 19-year-old was summoned from the bench in the early stages after Pat Lambie had to go off with a back problem and led his side to a comfortable victory, although Sharks were unable to gain a bonus point.
Bosch kicked six penalties, as well as scoring a try and adding two conversions in a fine all-round display.
"Winning was nice, but we were disappointed to lose Patrick so early and not to get a bonus point," said Tera Mtembu, scorer of Sharks' first try.
Stormers joined Chiefs and Crusaders as the only sides with three wins from their opening three fixtures, thanks to a resounding 41-10 triumph over Southern Kings.
Elsewhere, Cheetahs prevailed 38-31 in a see-saw encounter with Sunwolves, and Jaguares defeated Lions 36-24, Nicolas Sanchez leading the way with 21 points.

Dickson went to his pocket for a card, saw who it was, changed his mind and spoke at length to TMO. One angle clearly shows Care diving over a Saints player to kill the ball. 1st yellow, reason given for not Red was player was falling backwards. He was only falling backwards after contact with Lawes. Graham try should have stood. Mitchell did not have both hands on the ball, ball went forward from a Saints boot dragging over it. 2 intentional knock-on's. One of which had an overlap on the outside. If Quins are happy to win by intentional foul play, then it does not say much for them. Would appear to be a bad day for Karl Dickson, also for the RFU in appointing a Ref who spent 8 years as a player at one of the clubs.
