Cape Town - The Stormers staged a dramatic fightback in the last 15 minutes, to edge out the Sharks 17-16 in the final Neo Africa Tri-Series clash at Newlands on Saturday evening.

Stormers replacement lock Adriaan Fondse scored the winning try with only a minute left on the clock, and replacement fullback Lionel Cronje slotted the easy conversion to hand his team victory in the dying moments of the match.

The Stormers were 16-3 behind with just 13 minutes left, as the Sharks dominated proceedings up to that point.

Sharks coach John Plumtree’s motivational talk after their lacklustre display against the Lions on Tuesday night worked wonders, as his team overpowered the Stormers in the physical collisions.

This was in stark contrast to the feeble display against the Lions, where the Sharks were out-muscled throughout.
