The Citizen|December 23, 2024
The Sharks made their move up the United Rugby Championship (URC) table with a breathtaking derby win over the Bulls in Durban, while the Stormers returned to winning ways with a comfortable victory over the Lions in Cape Town.
Ross Roche

The Sharks and the Bulls was always going to be a terrific contest and it lived up to the hype with a deafening roar celebrating the hosts after they defended their line at the death, before hoofing the ball out to seal a nail-biting 20-17 win.

Sharks coach John Plumtree cut a relieved figure after the game and admitted that it had been an incredibly difficult build-up, and he was stoked with the effort of his players.
