After the bruising 22-25 loss at the hands of the Highlanders, Sharksworld cornered Kyle Cooper for his thoughts on the evening – as well as his first tour away with the Sharks. [...]
Super 14
Sharksworld chats with Kyle Cooper in Dunedin
The IPL… of rugby…
I remember the first few guises of Super rugby, the Super 8, Super 10 and the Super 12. I was a youngster when it started, quite surprised that suddenly our much loved local teams were taking on these teams from overseas, littered with great All Blacks and Wallabies that I’d only seen during Springboks tours and during the 1991 and 1995 world cup.
Round Four Injury Update
The Fourth round of the Super Rugby campaign gets under way tomorrow, and we already have a two page list of injuries on our hands. I hope this helps: [...]
But Changes, there must be!
I would replace Keegan with just about anyone else. His last good game for the Sharks was of the bench against the Bulls at Kings Park 2 years ago when he snatched victory from the Bulls with a great chip and chase try. Then again, that’s [...]
2 X Super 8’s = Super 16
Right, I’ve thought long and hard about just how those idiots SARU and SANZAR can crowbar the EP Kinglets into Superugby and I think I’ve cracked it. [...]
SUPER 15 PREVIEW
It’s almost that time of year again, when Superugby relegates the other fun stuff we find to do on weekends during the off season to the bin of discarded activities for another 8 months.
The 2012 edition will be no different I imagine, well, it will be different, but not in a dress in women’s clothing and high heels whilst singing the theme song to Airwolf on a table kind of way. [...]
New Zealand’s 2012 Super Squads named: Haskell one of five foreign imports
All Blacks.com reports that dynamic English back-rower James Haskell has put pen to paper with the Highlanders and will feature in the revamped 2012 Super competition for the southern franchise. [...]
To build, you need continuity
In order for the Sharks to build on improved Super Rugby showing in 2011, it is vital that steady exodus of key players from the squad that has hampered continuity in recent years be minimised. [...]
You moved – Dangerous play!
I’ve seen a lot of funny things, but the look on the entire Sharks’ front row’s faces when Bryce Lawrence uttered those four words was priceless, and possibly the death knell for a team that was skating on a thin line between drive to win and jet-lag induced exhaustion.
Notes on Loftus
I was one of the lucky ones who attended the Loftus game along with some of the other Sharksworld faithful and thought I’d put down some thoughts on the experience as a whole. [...]
S15 Game 101 – Rebels (3) vs Stormers (40) F/T
The second match this morning has some South African interest as the Stormers are aiming to take a third victory on the road against a Rebels team that have had a very long first season in Super Rugby. [...]
Sharks need to shore up the scrum
Naka Drotske was yesterday drawn into making a few comments that suggest the Cheetahs will ‘target’ the shaky midfield defence of Meyer Bosman as they aim to turn the tables on the Sharks this weekend. While this will, I’m sure, be part of their strategy, the shaky Sharks scrum is sure to be another area for the Cheetahs to attack. [...]
Social Networking in Sport
There can be no denying that social networking, like Twitter and Facebook have changed the way many people think, work, learn and interact, but with it comes responsibility. [...]
Back home
It all began a few months ago. Sitting around a table at work and having a discussion about “The Game”, Shark vs Bulls – 21/5/2011. [...]
The BIG question….
I am sure all of us, at one stage or another, would love to ask a question to a player / coach / referee…. [...]
