The Natal Sharks came away with the maximum 5 points after taking on Griquas in Kimberley.

Griquas opened the scoring with a converted try after they had to defend for most of the opening 30 minutes. The Sharks struck back just before half time with an Adrian Jacobs try, and when Jacobs scored again just after half time Griquas had to play catch up for the rest of the game. Their willingness to throw the ball around eventually contributed to their downfall as handling errors gifted the Sharks ball possession that they converted into two more tries to secure the bonus point. A late consolation try for Griquas made the scoreboard look a bit better but the Sharks controlled the ball possession and capitalized better on the scoring opportunities created. Final score: Sharks 24- Griquas 14.
