SUPER RUGBY ROUND 1 – BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS<\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/p>\n
The biggest takeaways from the opening round of Super Rugby from a South African perspective, according to Quintin van Jaarsveld. <\/strong><\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
After a stuttering start – a combination of early-season rust and the sweltering Singapore conditions – the Sharks found their rhythm and put the Sunwolves to the sword.<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t a faultless performance, although it\u2019s hard to be critical of a 45-10 away win. The vaunted visitors did exactly what they\u2019d set out to do and headed back home with maximum points.<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
It was a clinical display from the Durban side, who have their best chance in years to make a legitimate run at the title. Most impressive was the structure with which the Sharks went about their business.<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
Teams are often coaxed into playing exhibition-like rugby against a side like the Sunwolves, who have little to lose and enjoy throwing caution to the win.<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
The Sharks didn\u2019t fall into that trap and instead, based their play on their set pieces, a tactic they persisted with throughout, piling up lineout numbers that haven\u2019t been seen in quite some time.<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
It was from a scrum, near the halfway line, that the Sharks scored one of the tries of the weekend, as a solid platform led to a slick backline move and try for Sbu Nkosi.<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
They scored some good tries out wide, but the message was clear: they\u2019re backing their set pieces to lead them to the promised land.<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
Wow! Pote Human could not have asked for a better way to begin his Super Rugby coaching career. It really was the perfect start for the Bulls as they thrashed their arch-rivals 40-3.<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
The hot-stepping Rosko Specman brought the magic that\u2019s bound to make him a big asset for the Pretoria franchise and his brilliant brace gave the hosts an early wave of momentum that turned into a tsunami.<\/h4>\n
