SANZAR are in the midst of developing the next ridiculous Super Rugby format. This has to be in line with the current Einstein “4 points for a bye” scenario, thus keeping everyone in the dark, bar those who actually feel like analyzing and predicting the 3+1 logs on Excel over the weekend. [...]

Why I’m backing Heyneke
22 Nov 13 14:14 by Greg Kaos (gregkaos) | 90 Comments
I feel inspired to defend Heyneke Meyer, inspired by some of the unendingly negative comments I’ve seen on various blogs. The more I see, the more compelled I feel to come to his defence. We’re South Africans, we live to support the Boks. The constant flow of unwarranted criticism leaves me feeling embarrassed about a section of our fans. [...]
Dream Bok?
22 Nov 13 13:43 by Chris Smith (ChrisS) | 11 Comments
Since the rugby season is drawing to a close I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the players on display in the upcoming tests and ask Santa for a gift for the Boks. It’ll never happen due to the IRB regulations but wouldn’t it be amazing to select a player from another country’s squad and put him in a Bok jersey? [...]
IRB Player of the Year?
13 Nov 13 11:29 by Benedict Chanakira (bchanakira2) | 57 Comments
The 2013 International season is about to end with the end of year tours to come. This year has seen the All blacks continue their dominance in world rugby. Their only loss since clinching the World Cup was against an English side that was superior on the day, in 2012. They are in a class of their own. Two of their players are favorites to clinch the coveted award. Last year the award went to a New Zealander, Daniel Carter. The All Blacks have had five winners out of a possible twelve. They should make it six in 2013. [...]

Coincidence? I think not!
22 Oct 13 15:03 by Andrew Woodgate (woody) | 33 Comments
It is time that the Sharks move away from completely relying on a player like Jean Deysel or Willem Alberts to dominate the advantage line because against a good defence like Province’s they cannot regularly get the required go forward to get enough momentum to attack off of. [...]

The new Super Rugby: 2016 and onwards
27 Aug 13 12:41 by Stephen Smith (StevieS) | 12 Comments
Reading the comments on Sharksworld and based on my own opinion Super Rugby is not so super anymore! It would seem that SANZAR missed the plot when they moved away from the Super 14, with some even arguing that they shouldn’t have moved away from Super 12! [...]

I for one would be quite livid if there was a reasonable expectation for promotion from my employers and that trust was broken. I would also consider other offers from rival companies. [...]

I‘ve been using this blog to catch up on news and opinions for a very long time. I refrained from logging in and commenting until very recently – even though I had a profile. [...]
Keeping the dream alive
3 Jul 13 08:59 by Jan Dyman (JD) | 15 Comments
In what must surely be the most frustrating season for the Sharks supporters there is now just a very slim ray of sunlight shining through what was a very dark season thus far. There is a slim chance that the Sharks might just, after all, sneak into the play-offs again. [...]
