Penalty Goals: Cooney (1). Conversions: John Cooney (4). The Cell C Sharks hung on with fullback Boeta Chamberlain adding his name to the score sheet in the 68th minute for their bonus point try, which saw them stretch their score to 24 points with minutes left to play, and unfortunately for hosts they lost the ball metres from the tryline soon after, which denied them from potentially leveling the scores.

It is a rare thing that a crowd gives the visiting captain a standing ovation when he leaves the field but Duane Vermeulen richly deserved it on an ...

So the try was awarded on that basis and Cooney kicked the conversion to make it a 12-point game. But in between those, there was a good try to young Ulster lock Harry Sheridan and that was enough to keep Ulster ahead. That made it 17-12 to Ulster and that was the halftime score. This time Bosch converted and it was 12-10 to the Sharks after 29 minutes. It didn’t look like it would turn out that way when Grant Williams crossed for a brilliant Sharks try in just the second minute. And Vermeulen, who himself affected a crucial turnover penalty before halftime and was always prominent in the physical aspects of the game, showed that he remains a legendary player.

The Sharks refused to throw in the towel and when Werner Kok broke from deep inside his own half, full-back Boeta Chamberlain was on hand to finish. It was an opportunistic score by the inside centre who, having seen Williams roll the ball over his own whitewash as the Sharks were about to clear their line, came around the side of the ruck and touched down. The Sharks regained the initiative when wing Thaakir Abrahams raced on to a chip ahead, evading a despairing tackle by Craig Gilroy in the process.

If they are to finish in the top four and secure a home quarterfinal, the Sharks will need to pull out all the stops in their remaining four games in the pool stages. The Sharks tried to stage a comeback but all they could manage was to secure a bonus point for being able to cross the try line four times. Ulster scored two more tries in the second half through Moore and Sheridan to secure a bonus point for the travellers.

Both the Sharks and Ulster scored four tries each in their entertaining United Rugby Championship clash at Kings Park Stadium in Durban on Saturday.

The visitors scored next, a penalty by John Cooney after the Sharks strayed offside at a ruck, and they took the lead when a penalty was kicked to the corner and the forwards rumbled over, with replacement hooker Tom Stewart getting the grounding.

Sharks scrum half Grant Williams was the man to cross for the home side. A Boeta Chamberlain try for the hosts proved to be a consolation as, after several minutes of late Sharks pressure, Ulster held out for victory in Durban. When the Sharks were ready to clear from their own goal-line, the midfield man took advantage of the situation to score, coming around the side of the ruck to dot down.
