Cape Town – The Sharks got the full-house victory they desperately needed in Bloemfontein on Saturday ... but it was a win tempered by a significant player setback.
They rumbled rather than dazzled their way to a 27-10 Super Rugby triumph over the Cheetahs, which sees them surprisingly well placed at sixth overall after the weekend’s activity, albeit in a heavy mid-table “traffic jam”.
