Connacht prevailed in tricky conditions...
Connacht 24 Sharks 12 CONNACHT GOT THEIR campaign back on track when they carved out a deserved victory over an understrength Sharks side in dreadful conditions at the Sportsground.
The win maintains Connacht’s perfect home record of eight wins over South African teams at the Sportsground and they will now turn their attention to the European Challenge Cup where they have already won both their games. The Sharks finally tried to play some rugby before the break but Connacht hit them on the counter and after going to the left corner again with a penalty, they worked it into midfield and full-back Tiernan O’Halloran came through to score under the posts.
Sharks pulled back a try from centre Rohan Janse van Rensburg after 62 minutes which Lionel Cronje superbly converted from the left.
