Just before the end of the first stanza Sharks hit-back with a try of their own, this time through Londanie Mpungose. With missed conversions by both sides the score was deadlock at 5 apiece.

Second half got underway with WP enjoying most of the possession and putting on a marvelous attack. The home side eventually got rewarded with a try scored by Reece Montsumim who stepped up to add the extras. The final score 12-5 to the Western Province.
