URC: Durban Sharks 45 Munster 0Munster captain JJ Hanrahan did not mince his words after Munster were torn apart 45-0 by the Sharks in a soggy Durban on Saturday night. The Sharks were utterly commanding on the back of an outstanding pack and clinical attack in wet and slippery conditions. The Sharks pack was simply irresistible on the night, winning six scrum penalties and poaching several lineouts to leave Munster without any foothold in the game. The Sharks kicked both penalties to touch and despite a good effort in repelling the first series of attacks, Munster could do nothing to prevent the Sharks’ pack from the next lineout. Scorers for Sharks:Tries: P Buthelezi, L Giliomee, P Ganyane, E van Heerden, L Malan, M Mapimpi (2);Cons: J Hendrikse (3), J Smith (2).
