Currie Cup result: Sharks boost playoff chances
The home team scored nine tries in a convincing victory.
On Friday night, the Sharks XV secured a bonus-point victory over the Bulls XV at Kings Park, a win that kept their Currie Cup semi-final aspirations alive. Initially outside the playoff picture, Durban's team advanced to fourth place with 18 points after the 53-22 triumph. Their future depends on the results of upcoming matches on Saturday and Sunday.
The Sharks dominated from the start, with star flanker Tino Mavesere scoring four tries and prop Ross Braude contributing two tries, along with Tim Swiel and Jacques Marais. The Bulls managed to score two tries through Kebotile Maake and Marnus Rademeyer, but the Sharks maintained control. A late effort from Brooklyn Newman and Lavela Pongolo fell short, allowing the Sharks to extend their lead with Marais' second try.
