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.
