The Sharks Women were thrashed 69-5 by the Bulls Daisies in the Womens Premier Division at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday. Sharks coach JC Hector feels that there are plenty of lessons to be learnt from facing the runaway log leaders.
It was good to play against them to see how we measure up and how other teams measured up. Of the big lesson that we learnt, a lot of it was more mental, he said.
It was good to see where the girls fell short, especially under pressure.
The Daisies scored 11 unanswered tries before a late charge by the Sharks pack rewarded them with a maul try near the end of the game.
It was almost a point a minute for the home side in the first half and their 38-0 lead at the break was good value for their effort.
