'Beast' Mtawarira marks 157th Super Rugby clash with victory eNCA
Tendai Mtawarira of the Sharks tackled by Malcolm Marx and Tyrone Green of the Lions during the 2019 Super Rugby match between the Lions and the Sharks.
Mtawarira overtook retired national team captain and hooker Adriaan Strauss, whose 156 appearances came with the Central Cheetahs and Northern Bulls. "Now we must become consistent. We have risen to second in the standings despite losing three of our seven matches this season, including two at home." The result on a wet night in the South African financial capital could have been even more one-sided had Sharks fly-half Robert du Preez not missed three of five kicks at goal.
From the kick-off, the Sharks camped in Lions' territory and it was surprising that they took 19 minutes to score given their dominance. Springbok flier Mapimpi claimed his second try before half-time to give the visiting team a 25-0 advantage heading for the changerooms.
