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.

Geluk Sharks met die wen, kalm gebly en kanse gebruik. Nie oortuigende wen nie, maar ‘n wen is ‘n wen, veral 2 oorsee.
Congrats Sharks… bit of an iffy win, but a win with a bonus point to boot.
