Loader try decisive as Stormers inflict more URC woe on the Sharks
By PA
The Sharks suffered more United Rugby Championship misery as the Stormers inflicted a ninth league defeat on them by winning 25-21 in Durban.
They continue to prop up the table with a solitary win from 10 starts this season while their South African rivals remain strong play-off contenders.
The Stormers cruised into an early lead through tries from hooker Joseph Dweba and scrum-half Paul de Wet, with centre Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu adding one conversion and then kicking a penalty just before half-time.
Prop Ox Nche, flanker James Venter and hooker Bongi Mbonambi claimed tries for the Sharks, with Curwin Bosch and Siya Masuku (two) kicking conversions to secure a losing bonus point.
But wing Ben Loader’s 49th-minute try, converted by Feinberg-Mngomezulu, proved decisive and the centre also slotted a late penalty.
