Sharks too strong for Zebre Parma
By PA
The Sharks pulled clear in the second half to earn a 38-6 United Rugby Championship victory over Zebre Parma in Durban.
Sean Everitt’s men were big favourites against the competition’s bottom side but the hosts had to be patient, leading just 10-6 at half-time thanks to a Henco Venter try.
The Sharks kicked on after the break, with Bongi Mbonambi going over before a pair of yellow cards proved costly for the previously stubborn visitors.
Khutha Mchunu and Grant Williams both touched down during Potu Leavasa’s time in the sin bin while Curwin Bosch – who kicked 13 points – went over in Jacopo Bianchi’s absence to complete the scoring.
The result lifts the Sharks back to the top of the South African Shield and sixth in the overall table.

Clearly. Haven’t seen it but will take a look, if deliberate then deserved ban incoming…
Go to commentsKiss was doing very well indeed with Irish but Ulster had other off field issues going on, to say the least!!
Not sure it would be fair to judge McKellar on Leicester, it’s a tough gig with that dressing room and looked more like a poor fit more than anything else.
Would be a shock if O’Gara would touch it, he publicly dismissed Wales recently but covets France, England and Ireland - in that order.
Cotter would be interesting and he’s got qualities but he’s also got some elements of Eddie Jones about him believe it or not - he had the Scotland wc squad in camp, believe it or not, with the French foreign legion and ripping the heads off chickens!
