PRETORIA - The Bulls and Sharks provided rugby fanatics with a Currie Cup semi-final encounter for the ages.
In what is an unusual turn of events, the two sides battled to a 33-all draw at full-time before heading to extra-time.
As if that was not enough, the added 20 minutes also failed to produce an outright winner.
In the end, the Durban side advanced after outscoring their opponents by six tries to four.
Springbok prop Trevor Nyakane was an unlikely hero as his try proved decisive after a 40-all draw.
The Sharks will face the Lions in the final at Ellis Park next weekend.
