Bok-laden Sharks end Glasgow's winning run
By PA
Champions Glasgow saw their three-game winning run in the United Rugby Championship come to an end after a 28-24 defeat against a star-studded Sharks in Durban.
Boosted by the return of a number of Springboks, Jordan Hendrikse kicked an early penalty for Sharks before George Horne converted his own try to nudge the Warriors in front.
Hendrikse missed another effort from the tee but quickfire scores from Siya Kolisi and Aphelele Fassi, one converted, saw Sharks move 15-7 ahead.
Horne added his second try prior to half-time but two Hendrikse penalties, the second after Glasgow’s Gregor Brown was sin-binned for a high tackle, extended Sharks’ lead to 21-12.
Sharks took further advantage when Grant Williams was quickest to a kick over the top to go over, with Hendrikse adding the extras.
But late tries from Rory Darge and Johnny Matthews, the latter converted by Adam Hastings, helped Glasgow claim two bonus points in suffering just a second defeat in nine URC matches.

Really interesting article.Canterbury and Crusaders lock Jamie Hannah, who debuted for the Crusaders before Canterbury , he is going places. Fellow Canterbury lock, who has debuted for the Crusaders in Europe, is big and athletic. His father Graham played in the NPC winning Canterbury side of 1997. His Uncle is former AB Chris Jack. Makos and Crusader no 8 Fletcher Anderson is developing fast with more experience. First-five James White did play well for Canterbury in the loss to Wellington. No harm in first-fives who can play fullback.
