Cape Town - The Sharks put a lacklustre first half behind them to keep their Super Rugby playoffs hopes alive with victory over the Force in Perth on Friday.
Commentary: Force v Sharks
The Sharks won 23- 13 after trailling 10-7 at half-time.
The Sharks scored two tries through No 8 Keegan Daniel and fullback Riaan Viljoen. Flyhalf Patrick Lambie was on target with both conversions as well as three penalties.
The Force replied with a try by centre Kyle Godwin and a conversion and two penalties by fullback Jayden Hayward.
The Sharks picked up four points for their victory and moved up to third in the South African Conference and 10th in the Overall standings - jumping ahead of the Stormers in both instances.
The Force left-empty-handed and stayed bottom of the Australian Conference and 14th in the Overall log.
