Pumas suffer second loss, Bulls await in Pta
The Cell C Sharks produced a strong second-half showing against the iCollege Pumas in Durban on Friday evening to overturn a 12-7 half-time deficit for their victory.
The Sharks won 28-12 at Jonsson Kings Park and remain undefeated at the halfway point of this year’s Currie Cup, bagging a third successive bonus point victory in the competition.
Errors at crucial times and a defensive lapse, in which the Sharks conceded two tries in five minutes before half-time, saw the visitors take the lead at the break.
All credit must go to the Pumas for putting in such a spirited effort.
By half-time there was no clear-cut leader in the game but a strong second half performance saw them wrestle control back before emerging a comfortable four try to two winners. The Mpumalanga outfit were unable to add to their score in the second half, while the hosts added three tries to their tally for the bonus-point 28-12 win.
