2 minutes into the second half and it's still with the sharks playing inside the Griquas half
What a game so far. The Griquas began all guns blazing and pushed themselves into a healthy lead early on with a try after 3 minutes. However the Sharks used this as fuel to push themselves even further and back into the game with 2 tries through number 8 Botes. Griquas dominating the first 15 while it was the Sharks who took over possession for the final 25. We're certainly lined up for a great second half.
Botes uses the scrum wisely and picks from the back to run blind and go over for his second of the match. pushing the Sharks into the lead for the first time on the brink of half time.
Sharks seem to be regular visitors to the Griquas 22 and now find themselves with a scrum 5 metres from the post.
Griquas come right back in the game and add 3 points through the boot of Scheepers once again.
Sharks no. 8 Botes manages to get sharks back in the game with a try to the left of the posts. A well rehearsed lineout sees the ball land in Botes arms who barges his way over 4 Griquas players to add his sides first try of the game.
The tables have turned since the beginning and now its all Sharks. After 12 phases inside the Griquas they manage to get the ball wide to MAseko on the wing who sidesteps his way over the line, however the TMO is used and we are brought back for a knock-on 2 phases earlier.
