Fixing the Mistakes<\/a>: <\/p>\n

The Cell C Sharks will look back at the weekend\u2019s Currie Cup match against the Phakisa Pumas in Nelspruit on Saturday with mixed feelings about the performances in the two halves.<\/p>\n

In a match when the Cell C Sharks were leading at half-time thanks to an exciting and at times clinical performance, scores for the home team on either side of the break brought them right back into a game they were losing fairly comprehensively.<\/p>\n

With their tales up and pulling themselves right back into the game, this gave them the self-belief and impetus to dominate in the second half, scoring 18 points to three en route to their 27-20 victory.<\/p>\n

The delight and relief for the home side who had narrowly lost their previous three matches in the competition was instant and clear.<\/p>\n

For the Cell C Sharks, massive disappointment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very disappointed with the result against the Pumas,\u201d said head coach Sean Everitt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt that we started off really well in the first half, put ourselves in a good position to get the result and then the team went into self-demolition mode in the second half.\u201d<\/p>\n

He identified the second half as the real area of concern when the team somehow couldn\u2019t maintain the intensity and accuracy they had shown in the first half.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndividual errors crept in, we gave away penalties, we gave away a yellow card and we pretty much didn\u2019t give ourselves an opportunity,\u201d he explained<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to go back to the drawing board, work hard this week and work on our individual skills and put in a better performance against Free State.\u201d<\/p>\n

This weekend the Cell C Sharks will be at home for the final time for the pool stages in a shortened competition.<\/p>\n

The Free State Cheetahs will be coming to Durban<\/a> after themselves suffering a narrow loss, going down 24-22 to the Golden Lions. The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday.<\/p>\n
