Match of the Day

The Sharks end the season with a statement win over Zebre

The Hollywoodbets Sharks didn't leave Hollywoodbets Kings Park without making a point, running up the scoreline against Zebre with a commanding 54-19 victory on Saturday. The performance suggested total seasonal dominance, offering the perfect stage for the team to deliver a definitive farewell to departing players. The sheer scoreline gap highlights the gulf between the top clubs and the rest of the competition, confirming that the Sharks finished the 2025/26 campaign on a major high.

Just weeks prior, the squad proved their firepower again, dispatching Benetton with ruthless efficiency in a 46-7 clash. These dominant results across the final stages suggest the squad arrived at the end of the season with unmatched cohesion and physicality. Having concluded the campaign with such flair, the focus now shifts entirely to the offseason, leaving the competition reeling from the high standard of play delivered by the Sharks.

Talking Point
The drama surrounding the Stormers' campaign showed both resilience and vulnerability. While the DHL Stormers earned a key Semi-Final spot with a 44-21 demolition of Cardiff, their prior draw against Ulster (38-38)—sealed by a late penalty try—demonstrated that even at the absolute peak, the path to glory is anything but secure.
