Currie Cup
Boland strengthened by former Sharks
Everitt due a Currie Cup shot
Let’s assume, for just a second, that we all (well, most of us) get our wish and the Sharks enter the 2014 Super Rugby season with a new coaching team in charge of the side. My view is that while moves to establish that coaching team do need to start as quickly as possible, it’s probably better if it’s not done as a rush job, rather that the appropriate time is spent ensuring that the right people, with the right credentials, are involved.

Meet Sharksworld’s new spoon
He has been rubbing up people, he has been barking up the wrong tree – for some. He has dished out and received. But he is still around – surprisingly to some folks!

As some of you might recall…mind you, or not…I wrote a little piece on the Bulls with their open chequebook some time ago. http://www.sharksworld.co.za/2012/07/18/did-the-bulle-win-the-blerrie-lotto/ [...]
Franco bludgeons Sharks home
The Sharks recorded an unexpected, 4-wicket win over the Sunfoil Dolphins in yesterday’s Pick’n'Pay Durban Challenge T20 match, at Sahara Park Kingsmead. Set a competitive total of 183/5 to chase, it was thanks, in no small part, to a smashing innings from Lions loan-player Franco van der Merwe that the rugby side stole the win. [...]

39 Weeks of non-stop rugby
Heyneke Meyer, in interviews this week, has expressed his frustration at mismanagement of players that have been overplayed in this long season, leaving him with injuries to key players and a bunch of overplayed and exhausted players in his training group. Meyer feels that we should be looking to New Zealand for tips in this area saying: “I think the one team that gets it right in the world is the All Blacks” [...]
Sharksworld Awards

Sharksworld Team of the Currie Cup 2012
Unfortunately I cannot write this with the elation of a winning supporter but must again admit that we were beaten by the better (or maybe smarter) team on the day and were once again outplayed in a final. Congratulations to the ultimate winners! WP you deserve this trophy and it must be so much sweeter having waited for it for 11 years. We hope that you’ll have to wait 11 more for another trophy. (-; [...]
