The Bulls controlled the first half and to a large extent bullied the Sharks, only for the Sharks to show a huge amount of guts in the second half to try and claw the deficit back.

In the end, the Bulls won by 9 points, denying the Sharks any Log points, whilst earning 4 Log points.

Sharks: 3 Penalties & 2 Conversions Patrick Lambie, 1 Try Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Try Adi Jacobs
