Sharks hurting after defeat

Durban - Despite the frustration at having lost their Super Rugby match against the Stormers on Saturday, the Sharks are determined to take the good and look to build on that ahead of the Cheetahs clash.

The Durbanites believe they were in the game for large parts of the match, and if it weren’t for a game-changing penalty try, the six point deficit may well have been overturned given the character the side has shown in the past.

“We’re very disappointed with the result. Everyone is hurting, not just the forwards. We know that our set-piece didn’t function as well as we would have liked and that’s an area we need to get right on Saturday,” assistant coach Brad MacLeod-Henderson told the Sharks website editor Michael Marnewick.
