The Sharks take a 5-3 lead over the Stormers into halftime. The Stormers opened the scoring midway through the half, but the Sharks hit back with a length of the field try to edge ahead. The Stormers picked up a yellow card with nine minutes of the half to play, so will start the second half with 14 players for about a minute. It's been a tough physical encounter with a play-off spot on the line.
