Neil Powell says the Sharks were “all-round not good enough” in a loss to Scarlets that has dented their Vodacom URC playoff chances.

Powell’s troops are now eighth on the URC standings and go into their final two home fixtures of the season under pressure, as the race for the URC playoffs heats up. “We also had unforced errors. We knew coming into this game that Scarlets were feeding off those opportunities and those scraps, and unfortunately, we gave them those scraps and they scored two of their tries off our mistakes.The Sharks next meet URC foes Munster in the Champions Cup round of 16 at Kings Park on Saturday.
