URC: Lions produce stirring second half comeback to pip the Sharks

Marius Louw's late try - converted by Sanele Nohamba - edged the Lions ahead but, with the clock entering the red, Sharks were awarded a penalty but Chamberlain could not take the chance.

Makazole Mapimpi and Grant Williams crossed in the first half, with Curwin Bosch kicking eight points as the Sharks went into the interval 18-3 up, but the visitors turned it around with a penalty try in addition to Louw's score and eight points from Nohamba's boot.

The defeat leaves the Sharks rooted to the foot of the table while Lions climbed into 11th spot.

Both teams will now turn their attention to the Challenge Cup next Saturday when the Sharks host French Top 14 outfit Oyonnax and the Lions lock horns with Montpellier in France.
