Sharks Win Historic URC Quarter-Final Shootout Over Munster in Durban
The Sharks defeated Munster 6-4 in the first-ever United Rugby Championship (URC) penalty shootout after their quarter-final match in Durban ended 24-24 following extra time. Munster's Rory Scannell missed a crucial penalty in the shootout, while the Sharks' Jordan Hendrikse, Jaden Hendrikse, and Bradley Davids all successfully converted their kicks, with Davids' final kick sealing the victory. The match was fiercely contested, with both teams scoring three tries each, and Munster’s Conor Murray kicking a dramatic 45-metre penalty to force extra time. The shootout was marked by controversy, as Munster players expressed frustration over perceived distractions from Sharks players during kicks. The Sharks will advance to the semi-finals to face the Bulls, while Leinster will host Glasgow, ending Munster's season and marking the final URC appearances for several Munster veterans. The match highlighted a slow start but evolved into a tense and thrilling contest, culminating in a heartbreaking exit for Munster.
