Things rapidly went pear-shaped for the Landers in the 2nd part of the 1st half…
If the Sharks win here, it will mean 2 / 0 for SA Teams against New Zealand Teams so far in Super Rugby 2020.
The Stormers nulled the Hurricanes in Round 1 and here the Sharks have a massive lead.
Sharks must NOT defend this lead, they must keep on piling the pressure on!
Morning GBS.
Agreed, put the boot in while they’re down!
2nd Half ON!
Highlanders 3 / 30 Sharks
Try Highlanders, Hunt!
Highlanders 10 / 30 Sharks

Morning Perdman!
Yeah, SA sides have generally lacked killer-instinct over the years, whereas the New Zealand sides would shove the boot farrrr down your throat, given the opportunity.
Laners kickable penalty, but of course they are already forced to have to try for tries and penalty goals won’t be enough.
Sharks again steal the lineout from the Landers.
Landers lineouts have been a shambles!
Landers willing but very, very inaccurate.
Landers penalty, caught Curwin Bosch and had a man over the ball…
Bad play by Bosch.
Landers knock at the 5m lineout… and their error woes continue.
5m Landers scrum penalty… was an excellent scrum by them.
They opt to scrum again
Lukhanyo Am culpable offside… quick tap penalty…
Try Landers, Jona Nareki!
Highlanders 15 / 30 Sharks

15 Minutes to go, the deficit also 15 points
Landers penalty on their own 10m line, 5m from touch
Landers 5m penalty… could have been a Card.
They pop it out to touch.
Rob Thompson knocks in midfield… would have been a sure try…
Exactly what I feared happened to the Sharks, they are just content to defend the lead and the lead is being whittled away…
Massive Sharks scrum, easy penalty!
Try Fassi, Sharks!
TMO
Try stands… converted.
Highlanders 15 / 37 Sharks
Try Michael Collins, Landers, far left corner!
Highlanders 20 / 37 Sharks
