Rugby: Sharks smash Benetton 46-7 in URC clash

# Rugby: Jurenzo Julius bagged a hat-trick as the Sharks demolished Benetton in their United Rugby Championship clash in Durban on Saturday. The hosts ran in eight tries to hammer their Italian visitors 46-7. The Sharks’ clinical finishing and willingness to attack from all areas of the field proved too much for the Italians, as the Durban-based side finally produced the type of performance their supporters had been waiting for. In addition to the three tries by Julius, there were two more from Edwill van der Merwe, while Siya Kolisi, André Esterhuizen, and Litelihle Bester each added a try.
