Bok-laden Sharks edge out Stormers to claim third successive win
By PA
Sharks made it three successive United Rugby Championship victories by beating Stormers 21-15 in Durban.
Tries from Ethan Hooker and captain Siya Kolisi, both converted by Siya Masuku, put them 14-0 ahead inside 17 minutes before Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s drop goal got Stormers on the board.
Leolin Zas crossed for Stormers to reduce the deficit further but Andre Esterhuizen went over for Sharks’ third try, Masuku again adding the extras, before the visitors were awarded a late penalty try to claim a losing bonus point.

Yeah they could have done with more grunt against France for sure. The opportunity for Lakai was good, and he was affective for 40 minutes but a full 80 was far too much to put on a debutant, losing a bit of the punch that was needed in the game be himself coming on fresh at the end.
