Sharks remain second in the Africa 2 Conference, while Stormers are top of Africa 1 despite a form slump which has seen them lost five of their past six games.
Defending champions Hurricanes survived a test at Loftus Versfeld, beating Bulls 34-20.
Without star playmaker Beauden Barrett, Hurricanes ran in five tries to two to claim their win.
But injuries to Ardie Savea, Mark Abbott and Wes Goosen soured the victory, which was Hurricanes’ 10th in 12 games.
In Argentina, Brumbies crushed Jaguares 39-15 as Thomas Banks and Andy Muirhead both scored twice.

Maybe if real rugby fans were able to get tickets then that might not be the case! Its filled with institutions, companies, sponsors etc. Who have no interest in being there. Would love to experience being at Twickenham if there was an opportunity to be able to get tickets at an affordable and not hiked up price! Shame
