Munster are 'once bitten, twice shy' in Shark Tank revenge mission
The Mercury
|May 30, 2025

At that time, the Sharks were in a freewheeling mood and played excellent attacking rugby. Although they have lost that spark of late, Nash remains wary of the home team’s potential.
The then Munster coach, Graham Rowntree, was sacked when the team returned to Ireland. In that game in Durban, the Sharks scored two tries shortly after the opening whistle and two more before the 30th minute.
