April 6<\/span> (Reuters) – The Wellington Hurricanes put last
\nweek’s extraordinary defeat behind them with a six-try, 42-18
\nvictory over South Africa’s Sharks in a sometimes fractious
\nSuper Rugby encounter in New Plymouth on Friday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hurricanes blew a 32-11 lead to lose to the Cheetahs
\nlast week but there was to be no repeat at Yarrow Stadium as
\nAndre Taylor, Jack Lam, Julian Savea, Conrad Smith, Tim Bateman
\nand Jeremy Thrush crossed to give the home side a bonus point
\nand a fourth win in seven matches this season.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sharks, who scored second half tries through centre JP
\nPietersen and fleet-footed hooker Craig Burden, will count
\nthemselves unlucky to fall to such a heavy defeat despite
\ndominating possession and territory for large parts of the game.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“I was stoked the way the boys stood up,” Hurricanes skipper
\nSmith said in a pitchside interview.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“We had a setback last week and were pretty disappointed but
\nwe’ve worked hard (and) it showed some character to keep
\nknocking them over, they have some big boys.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It was powerful running that won the Hurricanes their first
\ntry after 13 minutes when fullback Taylor tore through the
\nSharks’ defence with an impressive burst of pace to score his
\nfifth try of the season.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Flanker Lam added the second seven minutes later and the
\nthird, the pick of the scores, came on the stroke of halftime
\nafter another searing Taylor break resulted in winger Savea
\ntouching down in the corner.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Hurricanes flyhalf Beauden Barrett kicked one of his two
\npenalties after a mass brawl on the half hour mark which also
\nresulted in Sharks’ prop Jannie du Plessis and home flanker Karl
\nLowe being shown a white card and facing possible further
\ndisciplinary action.
