Incredible Defiance Sees Sharks Rule Loftus Against Error-ridden Bulls

The Sharks have had some unlikely victories at Loftus Versfeld over the years, and their shock 29-19 defeat of the Bulls in Saturday nights United Rugby Championship derby is close to taking the cake.

The Durban team were missing 15 top players, including seven current Springboks, while the Bulls had been on a red-hot streak.

But the Sharks did not get the memo that they were going to lose heavily.

The astonishing result was as much about the Sharks dogged refusal to give in even when they were down to 12 players at one point as it was to the Bulls being shockingly poor.

This game was supposed to be a gift five log points for Jake Whites men, but they delivered a wretched performance that saw their players bumbling and fumbling like a bunch of ill-trained clowns.
