Three of their first four tries resulted from their driving maul, which we were unable to stem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also failed to stop their momentum. They are a momentum side. We just gave them enormous yards. If you fail to stop them and allow them to build up momentum, then you\u2019re in big trouble,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Solomons said, despite the result, he had been impressed with the performance of youngsters Aidon Davis, Shane Gates and Siviwe Soyizwapi, all of whom were a credit to the work being done by the Kings Academy. \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skings.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\">Southern Kings<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/867e6_zemified_h.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fred Zeilinga scores for the Sharks.
