Sharks interim coach JP Pietersen guided the Durban side to their first United Rugby Championship win over the Stormers in Cape Town, but cautioned that the in-form Stormers would respond strongly in the return fixture in Durban next weekend.
The Stormers were unbeaten in eight URC matches before the Saturday night fixture, and had won their previous four contests against the Sharks at the venue.
But the 14th-ranked Sharks turned in a strong performance in front of a sold-out Cape Town Stadium and made the most of their opportunities to stun the hosts 30-19 . It was Pietersens fourth win out of six games in charge of the Sharks.
