The Sharks secured a bonus-point win in the BKT United Rugby Championship with a 37-10 victory over the Lions in Durban.

Wing Makazole Mapimpi scored two of the Sharks' five tries, as the Lions were blown away by 22 unanswered points from their South African rivals in the second half.

Early tries from Mapimpi and Boeta Chamberlain gave the Sharks a 12-0 lead, but Edwill van der Merwe's converted score reduced the deficit at halftime.

Curwin Bosch and Jordan Hendrikse exchanged penalties after the restart, before the Sharks stretched clear.

Grant Williams sprinted clear for a sixth URC try, and Bosch's replacement, Lionel Cronje, made an instant impact with a 40-meter penalty.

Replacement Siya Kolisi profited from Chamberlain's quick thinking to register the bonus-point try, and player of the match Mapimpi rounded off the scoring after the Lions had spilled possession.
