Mallett: Unfair decision against Sharks

Cape Town - Former Springbok coach Nick Mallett says the Sharks were unlucky not to have been allowed a try from a driving maul in their Super Rugby clash against the Hurricanes in Wellington at the weekend.

With the Sharks trailing 21-17 in the 61st minute, they appeared to score after Marcell Coetzee dotted down following a powerful driving maul close to the Hurricanes tryline.

Referee Chris Pollock referred the decision upstairs and eventually disallowed the try for what he called “changing lanes”.
