The Sharks battled their way to a frustrating 28-16 win over the Higlanders on Saturday, with Pat Lambie scoring all the points in an otherwise ordinary display. That said, any win at all is better than even the prettiest loss, so our ratings will reflect that to some extent. [...]
Lambie stars in victory over Highlanders
The Sharks beat the Highlanders in a close encounter at Mr Price Kings Park on Saturday night, beating them 28 – 16 in a game in which Pat Lambie scored all the points for the men from Durban. The Sharks kept their slim hopes of being involved in the playoffs alive, but did not impress to the point of any of the fans out there believing that they will have any say should they in fact be involved come finals time. [...]

Let’s take a quick look at one of the clashes of the weekend at Kings Park where the misfiring Sharks, coming from a bye, take on the unpredictable Highlanders. I use the word ‘unpredictable’ in reference to the team from Dunedin because in previous years the Highlanders were regarded as ‘easy beats’ but since former All Black Jamie Josephs’ arrival at the franchise things have changed. [...]

The Sharks team to face the Highlanders at Kings Park this Saturday afternoon has been announced with a number of changes to the team that lost to the Chiefs a fortnight ago. Paul Jordaan has been selected at outside centre, a move that most here would welcome. [...]
Sharks spoiled for choice
If the lack of an extended squad of fit players, with depth in most (if not all) positions and plenty of competition for places is the reason for the Sharks’ patchy form in Super Rugby 2012 to date – a recent article on the Sharks Rugby website seems to suggest this very thing – then the good news is, we fans should expect things to go much more smoothly starting this weekend.
