Rebels (18) 32 / Sharks (13) 34 (Final Score) 

The Melbourne Rebels hosted the Sharks at AAMI Park, Melbourne at 10:40 SA Time. This was the game thread for discussion of the match. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD and M-Net on TV in SA.

The Sharks won by the skin of their teeth, 34 / 32, but in the process managed to get their bonus point for tries scored.

The worrying thing for the Sharks will be that they conceded 4 tries in return, after not giving a single try away before this match.

Rebels: 2 Penalties & 3 Conversions & 1 Try Danny Cipriani, 1 Try Cooper Vuna, 1 Try Julian Huxley, 1 Try Jarrod Saffy
