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!
I have posted some questions to our latest spoon on Sharksworld – so here we go – meet the guy behind SAFFEX! [...]
It may have been a dark day for the Sharks Super Rugby side in Durban on Saturday, but there was a little joy earlier in the day when Jandre Marais led the Sharks XV to a scrappy, but hugely significant, 24-23 win over reigning Vodacom cup champions Western Province in Cape Town. [...]
Sharks XV coach Sean Everitt has named a mostly unchanged side for his team’s second-round Vodacom Cup clash in Cape Town this weekend. Whilst his charges performed superbly in delivering a proper beating to Border last week, the coach is keen not to let anyone get ahead of themselves, as far tougher opposition await in the form of reining champions Western Province. [...]
Bryan Habana won SARU Player of the Year for the third time at an awards dinner held last night while the Sharks were also big winners in picking up three awards. [...]
The newly crowned Currie Cup champions caused a bit of a stir during their open bus tour through the City of Cape Town, with players throwing money at supporters. [...]
The Kings have finally been able to confirm the signing of two players ahead of Super Rugby 2013, one of which has drawn speculation over the last few days after his Currie Cup heroics. [...]
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. (-; [...]
Western Province beat the Sharks to Currie Cup glory last Saturday, outplaying the home favourites to take their first title in 11 years. Even though WP played the better game on the day and looked to have wanted the win more than the Sharks, it is at lineout time that the Sharks lost the contest. [...]
The Sharks went down in the last match of the season, losing to a Western Province outfit that clearly wanted it more, and played to their ability, while the Sharks somehow left the game plan that worked all season, to lose their third final in a year. Here is how the players went: [...]
Confirmation has come through that Elton Jantjies’s move on loan to the Stormers for Super Rugby 2013 has been signed and is certain to happen. [...]
Western Province, after an eleven year drought, have lifted the Currie Cup by beating the Sharks 25 – 18 in the final at Mr Price Kings Park, matching the Sharks evenly throughout the match and doing the basics well when it counted, with their pivot Demetri Catrakilis playing the game of his life and kicking his team to victory. [...]
It’s the big one, the Currie Cup Final, the showpiece of local South African Rugby in the longest standing rugby tournament in World Rugby, and the Sharks host Western Province in what is sure to be a cracking encounter. [...]
With only one game left in this year’s Currie Cup season, we see the Sharks from Durban hosting Western Province from Cape Town. [...]
Much has been said about supposed “gulf in class” between the respective Sharks and Western Province teams named to do battle in Saturday’s Currie Cup Final, with the Sharks described in various glowing terms, including “Bok-laden”. I’m not completely sure I buy that, thought. [...]
So it all comes down to this… after 30 regular-season games and two semi-finals, there is only one match left to play in the 2012 Currie Cup Premier Division and it’s the biggest one of all. The Currie Cup Final between the Sharks and Western Province. [...]
