That's the first real breach we've seen from any side from what we call shoddy defence.
It's a bit of concentration - Gloucester caught up through the middle there.
Phepsi Buthelezi, con Masuku

Pure power from Sharks' number eight as Phepsi Buthelezi bulldozes through three or four tackles and dots down the first try of the final.
Siya Masuku adds the extras.
Caolan Englefield

Gloucester get another penalty from a scrum inside their own half and Caolan Englefield points to the sticks.
And he sends it through from 59 metres! Wow. Gloucester level things up.
Santi Carreras
Gloucester win a penalty just inside the Sharks half and Santi Carreras tries for the three points.
But the Argentina international drags it wide of the left post.
Difficult chance.
Gloucester 0-3 Sharks
Santi Carreras takes a steepling kick superbly for Gloucester.
And the Premiership side return it, as do Sharks once again.
Bit of kicking tennis at the moment after 20 minutes of ball in hand.
Gloucester 0-3 Sharks
Aphelele Fassi is back on for Sharks after 10 minutes in the sin-bin.
10 excellent minutes for the South African side.

Paul Grayson
Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Not a perfect strike by any stretch - a low, driven kick.
A little bit of left to right suggests just a smidgen of tension in Siya Masuku but nevertheless it's worth three points.
All that early effort from Gloucester to end up conceding two scrum pens and three points...
Siya Masuku
Siya Masuku doesn't miss many and he sends this tough chance from just inside the touchline through the middle of the posts.
Sharks are on the board first with a man in the sin-bin.

Forcing the penalties, a man in the bin but they've got to get something from this.
Gloucester 0-0 Sharks
And from that scrum 14-man Sharks win a penalty and have a chance to relieve the pressure.
It's been relentless from the English side but they have no points to show for it.
Gloucester 0-0 Sharks
How are Gloucester not ahead?!
Chris Harris bursts through, stretches for the try-line but dots the ball down inches short.
It ends with a scrum to Gloucester.
Gloucester 0-0 Sharks
Gloucester need to keep their composure.
Adam Hastings places a kick through to Jonny May, but the wing can't collect the ball.
If he had it would have been the first try.
Gloucester 0-0 Sharks
Following lots of Gloucester pressure just in front of the Sharks try-line, Aphelele Fassi is carded by the referee.
Fassi is the man punished for cumulative infringements.
10 minutes in the sin-bin. Gloucester need to take advantage...
