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.

The hell with this constant regurgitation of what this pretty boy is doing. For all I care he might as well be doing a Jamie Oliver cooking course. Rugby is not a progression toward the NFL, which, given its prominence in your reporting, you appear to regard as the ultimate contact sport. It has virtually nothing to do with rugby, and forever may that remain the case. I know that if I don’t like it I don’t have to read it, but I’m sick of seeing this dishwater-dull nonsense.
