Watch: Hats off to Siya, supersub Nick

Yesterday at 03:33 PM

Two-try hero Siya Kolisi led from the front while Nick Hatton made a star cameo to help the Sharks clinch the 2024-25 SA Shield in the Vodacom URC.

Skipper Kolisi dotted down either side of the break as John Plumtree's men dug deep to deny a late comeback from the Lions in a 25-22 bonus-point victory at Kings Park.
