Hard to please Sharks boss Powell seeking improvement

“We do want to show that fighting character every game. Hopefully we can have a bit more continuity.”

He lamented his team not always exercising the right options. The Sharks at times took the more difficult options in the line-out. Just before the break, while they were a player down, the visitors kicked for the corner while they could have taken three points by going for the posts.

Man of the match Bosch, however, helped deliver some decisive blows, particularly with a composed display in the second half. He scored a try and kicked three conversions and a penalty. He missed just one kick at goal.

“He's done well for us this season already. He showed in that second half how he managed the game with his boot,” Powell said.

“He puts good performances together. It is great if you can rely on your '10' to manage the game. It is always a risk going with a six-two bench but it definitely paid off for us in this game.”
