Sharks named for Boland clash
The Sharks have named a very experimental-looking starting side for Friday night’s warm up game against Boland, which kicks off at 7pm at Mr Price Kings Park. [...]
Pat at 10 and other good news – updated
Sharks coach John Plumtree held a press conference and the following key areas were discussed, some positive and some a little negative. [...]
Speaking of captaincy…
While we’re pretty quick to point fingers at the Bulls for appointing what many consider to be the wrong captain for their upcoming Super Rugby campaign, it occurs to me that our own beloved Sharks are also in something of an unclear position when it comes to leadership in 2012. [...]
Botes to miss the final cut?
He came onto the field in the 77th minute of last week’s semi-final, earning his 100th Currie Cup cap in the process, but for all his stalwart service over the last 5 years, don’t be too surprised to see Jacques Botes ommitted from the match 22 when coach John Plumtree names his Sharks side for the Currie Cup Final. [...]
Fred declared fit
The Sharks received a boost ahead of Saturday’s Currie Cup Final as French flyhalf Frederic Michalak was cleared to play, after being forced off the field half an hour into last week’s semi-final against the Cheetahs. [...]
Sharks spoiled for choice as injury cloud lifts
Sharks coach John Plumtree looks set to have close to a full strength squad to select from when he names his side to face the Cheetahs in Saturday’s Currie Cup semi-final. [...]
Three more Sharks ruled out
The injection of some “Bok beef” couldn’t come at a better time for the Sharks and while coach John Plumtree is making all the right noises about leaving it up to each individual as to whether he wants to play or not, the reality is, the team would be in dire straits without them. Two new players have been confirmed out after last weekend’s game against the Leopards, with a third also finally confirmed as being on the injured list. [...]
Plumtree to use Boks – where possible
John Plumtree has confirmed that he will look to use his returning Springboks to bolster the Sharks squad for the last three weeks of the ABSA Currie Cup, but also wants to minimise disruption to the squad in the process. Despite never quite hitting their straps in the tournament so far, the Durbanites nevertheless find themselves in second place on the log with the final round looming. [...]
Deysel cleared for Pumas
Jean Deysel has been named at open side flank in a positional switch to the Sharks back row that will take on the Pumas on Saturday. Captain Keegan Daniel moves to what many feel is his best position at the back of the scrum. [...]
Sharks bulk up for Bulls
The Sharks team to face the Bulls at Loftus this weekend has been announced, and sees a few changes to the forward pack, as our psychic Rob Otto predicted. [...]
Marais in line for start?
It’s always somewhat dodgy to draw conclusions from a photograph, but if one or two of the snaps I’ve seen of the Sharks training session yesterday have any relevance, then John Plumtree might be looking to freshen up his second row ahead of Saturday’s must-win clash against the Blue Bulls. [...]
Botes skippers Sharks
Veteran flanker Jacques Botes has been elevated to the Sharks’ starting lineup for Friday’s clash against the Leoaprds and will wear the captain’s armband as Keegan Daniel plays off the bench. John Plumtree has made five other changes – mostly rotational – to the side that beat Western Province at Newlands a week ago. [...]
Sharks have locks aplenty
While Sharks coach John Plumtree will need to scratch his head over a number of positions for this weekend’s Currie Cup match against the Leopards at Kings Park, one area where he certainly won’t be short of options is the second row. The return to fitness of Bok Alistair Hargreaves means that Plumtree’s lock dilemma becomes who to leave out, rather than who to pick. [...]
Odwa, Skeate definite non-starters
Sharks coach John Plumtree has confirmed that he will look to use a number of his returning Springboks off the bench as the Sharks take on Griquas in Kimberley on Friday night, with others sitting out entirely as he maintains continuity in the team that has gone unbeaten through three rounds of Currie Cup action.
