Bekker's Kobe Steelers thrashed

According to the SA Rugby mag website, Bekker made little impact in the game and failed to take control of the lineouts, while Jaque Fourie did not play because of injury.

Kobe coach - and new Sharks Director of Rugby, Gary Gold - cut a dejected figure in the stands as his team, who had topped the log, were taken apart by a side they had beaten by a similar margin during the group stage.
