It was a great weekend for most of the teams in the SA Conference sector with victories secured by The Lions, Sharks, Bulls and Jaguares. Let’s take a closer look at what took place this weekend.

The Emirates Lions made history on Friday when they took down the Waratahs 29-0 in Sydney. The Lions set a new record and became the first ever South African team to keep the opposing team scoreless while playing abroad. The Lions had a solid defence line and went into halftime with 7 points in the board thanks to a try from Madosh Tambwe. The second half was filled with 3 more trys from Kwagga Smith, Harold Vorster and Marnus Schoeman.

The Bulls played the Rebels on their stomping ground in Pretoria with a convincing 28-10 win. Adriaan Strauss secured his fifth try of the season with Jesse Kriel, Divan Rossouw and Andre Warner adding the rest of the points. This marks the Bulls third consecutive win.

Heading across to the Ocean it was an all-South African affair as the Sharks hosted the Stormers. With both sides desperately needing a win it was a tough game with the Sharks eventually emerging victorious 24-17.

The Jaguares had another great match while on their Aussie tour. They held the Brumbies to a 25-20 win making this their second consecutive win down-under.
