Bad for a pro
Cheetahs fail to get the score they need to take something out of the game and the Sharks hold on for a 3 point away win.
Out of nowhere the Cheetahs produce an inspired attack with Johann Sadie breaking through the middle before kicking and chasing. Cheetahs retrieve the ball meters from the Sharks line but their attack is brought to an end as a result of a forward pass from Kevin Luiters.
Cheetahs need to get some momentum going as time slips away on them. Willie Du Plessis is introduced in the hope he can prove the difference.
Butch James fails with his first kick on the pitch as he pushes the conversion wide on the right.
Sharks enter the lead following a try out wide from Louis Ludik. All the Cheetahs trouble steamed from their failure to deal with an up and under.
Butch James enters the game for the final 17 minutes. Can the World Cup winner prove the spark the Sharks need to go on and win this game?
Fred Zeilinga misses his first kick of the game and the season with a poor strike from 45 meters out. Never looked like going over.
Very little action of significance in the first 14 minutes of the second half. Burden of the Sharks showed why he used to be a center when he raced downfield after intercepting a pass for what was so far the highlight of the half.
Prinsloo returns from his stay in the sin bin.
