Little change to Lions team
The Lions have made an injury enforced change to their loose trio, in the only change to their team to face Western Province at home this weekend.
Cobus Grobbelaar is out with a rib injury, with Warren Whiteley coming into the starting team, which resulted in a reshuffled loose trio, with Josh Strauss playing from the side of the scrum. [...]
Province receive good and bad news
Western Province coach Allister Coetzee received the good with the bad today when it came to his injured players. It was confirmed that Heinrich Steyl had broken both bones in his leg and will be out of action for nine months, ruling him out until the second half of SupeRugby 2012. [...]
Here’s to hoping…
So here we go again, taking apart another poor Sharks performance, looking for players to blame, looking for areas where we can blame the coach and just generally moaning and bitching about what we see on a Saturday evening when we know they can do better. [...]
Plumtree sees positives
Coach John Plumtree was as reserved in his post match comments as always, and after another poor performance at the Sharks Tank, this time resulting in a loss instead of a narrow victory, the coach was a bit short and not so sweet. [...]
Coetzee happy with his team
Coach Allister Coetzee was in a happy mood in the post match press conference, happy with a four point win that kept Western Province in the race for the play offs. It must be said, this is now the third time the I have met him and he is one of the nicest coaches around, and its a pleasure talking to him. [...]

Sharks U21′s hold off Western Province
The Sharks U21 team managed to beat a strong Western Province outfit by 23 – 17 on a windy Saturday afternoon, after leading 17 – 5 at half time. Despite having to make the most tackles on the day, the Sharks pulled through after a strong fight back late in the second half. [...]
5 schoolboys for U19 team
The U19 team to kick off the rugby at Mr Price Kings Park this Saturday has been announced, as they face up to Western Province in a must win game. The team sees a reshuffled backline and only one change to the forward pack that faced the Cheetahs two weeks ago. [...]
U21′s show few changes
Even though the senior team to face Western Province has not been announced, we can give you the U21 team in the meantime, and rule out early week speculation that Gouws Prinsloo might get a call up, as he is still in the 15 jersey. [...]
Changes galore for WP
Allister Coetzee has had to make a whole host of changes to the team that played last week due to injuries, but once again it gives the youngsters a great chance to show their capabilities.

While I realise that most Sharks fans are quite happy wallowing in the doom and gloom of yet another poor performance against substandard opposition (notwithstanding the 5 log points gained), I feel duty-bound to point out the, shall we say, “interesting” developments that have unfolded on the log this weekend.
