The Pumas very positive on attack probing for gaps in the Sharks defense. Rewarded with a penalty right in front of the post just outside the Sharks 22. Van Staden draws the teams level with a well taken kick
School boy error from Hoffman who is penalized for feeding the scrum skew... Pumas on the attack now.
The ball was knocked on in the last passage of play and the Sharks have the put in, just inside the Pumas half
Sharks steal the ball off the Pumas throw in and launch and attack that comes to nothing as the ball goes out to touch
Possession being turned over a couple of times as the Sharks were looking menacing. However the penalty goes the way of the Pumas as the Sharks were going in off their feet. Jacques Botes the guilty man
The Pumas penalized for early scrumming and a short arm penalty awarded to the Sharks. Sharks opt for a scrum in doing so retaining possession
Neither side able to make any real impact on attack , with both teams being well disciplined on defense
The Sharks looking to play the game in the Pumas half putting in some good kicks in to drive the Pumas towards their own try line
Mtembu does well to clear his lines , selling Renaldo Bothma with a dummy and then kicking ahead for Ndugane to chase. The ball is then knocked on in the tackle and the Pumas have the put in to the scrum
No try and the penalty goes to the Sharks, and Zeilinga lines one up and makes no mistake. First blood to the Sharks.
