The South African URC derbies over the weekend lived up to the hype, with only one score separating the teams in both matches.
The Lions first claimed a crucial away win against the Sharks , 23-22, thanks to a last-gasp corner try from replacement scrumhalf and U20 Springbok star Haashim Pead after the hooter.
Similarly, the Stormers secured a narrow 13-8 victory over the Bulls thanks to a 79th-minute maul try from Ntuthuko Mchunu, breaking a 35-minute deadlock in a low-scoring Cape Town clash. The win extended the Stormers winning run to 10 matches across the United Rugby Championship and Champions Cup this season.
