Sharks owner questions Stormers try

Standard published on

Sharks owner Marco Masotti has suggested scrumhalf Paul de Wet was in an offside position before scoring one of three DHL Stormers tries at Kings Park on Saturday.

The Sharks suffered more Vodacom URC misery as the Stormers inflicted a ninth league defeat on John Plumtree’s charges by winning 25-21 in Durban.

Conditions were damp and the pitch slippery but that did not prevent fullback Warrick Gelant from showing a delightful piece of skill to set up the Stormers’ second try.

With both teams adapting to the weather, Gelant had the confidence to attempt a chip-kick over Sharks’ defence that he gathered effortlessly and found the supporting De Wet alongside him, who he sent sprinting clear through a fine pass.

Masotti, though, has raised an eyebrow on social media at the buildup to the impressive finish from the Stormers No 9.

The Sharks continue to prop up the table with a solitary win from 10 starts this season while the Stormers remain strong playoff contenders.
