Danny Wilson’s men were on a run of three defeats in four before their annihilation of the under-strength Stormers, while the Tigers’ drop in form was starker still. Michael Cheika’s men have Premiership title aspirations, but three defeats in five temporarily knocked the stuffing out of them, before the Sharks sent their second string to Welford Road.
