Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Sharks coach Neil Powell says that inaccuracies caused his side to fall short following their loss to the Stormers in their United Rugby Championship (URC) encounter on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Despite a second-half fight back, the Sharks were held by the hosts and lost 29-23 at Cape Town Stadium.<\/p>\n

Trailing 26-6 at half-time, the Sharks bounced back with two tries from wing Yaw Penxe and centre Rohan Janse van Rensburg to make it 26-18 heading into the last 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

However, a 13-man Stormers outfit held on and Powell’s side fell four points short of a famous win.<\/p>\n

“The guys showed a lot of confidence out there. It was more individual inaccuracies. There was a lot of ill-discipline in the first half that put us on the back foot,” Powell told reporters on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“We know the Stormers feed off your mistakes, that’s how they scored their first three tries. It is difficult to play catch up against them.”<\/p>\n

Powell admits that the Sharks were undone by a better outfit as the Stormers extended their spot at the top, capturing five log points.<\/p>\n

“Of course, it was an opportunity. We were in the game in the last eight minutes. One or two mistakes from individuals prevented us from getting on top of them,” said Powell.<\/p>\n

“You could see the efforts from the guys. I wish they could have got a better result, I think they deserved a better result. One or two mistakes prevented us from scoring that final blow.”<\/p>\n

The Sharks’ next URC encounter is on Saturday, 25 March against the Scarlets (19:00 SA time).<\/p>\n
