So, let’s start off by awarding to “tonsil of the week” prize to Captain Keegan… it seems that he was the one responsible for the tackle that led to Beast Mtawarira’s broken ankle. Keep up the good work, Skipper! (Only kidding Keegs, we’re sure it was an accident) [...]

Sharks Rugby making all the right noises
The Sharks Rugby Union must be on some kind of high after news hit late yesterday that Steven Sykes has signed a 1 year contract with them, and now they have managed to extend the contracts of most of their big name players. [...]
Leading from the front
Sharks coach John Plumtree has made it public knowledge that he will select his captain for the season next week sometime, and this got me thinking as to who the candidates could be. My 2 minute self debate ended quite simply with another year under Keegan Daniel. But then I had a few beers with a good mate of mine, and this is what we decided would be best for the Black and White. [...]
Beast right as rain after minor op
According to an article in die Volksblad, Shark prop Beast Mtawarira underwent a minor medical procedure in Cape Town this week, but came through with flying colours and is expected to be fit for the start of the Super Rugby season. [...]
Sharks player ratings: the Semi-Final
Once again, Saturday’s performance against the Cheetahs was one of two halves and if we were to rate the Sharks players based solely on a first-half where they took a 13-3 hammering, there wouldn’t be all that many high numbers. The second half, though, was won to the tune of 17-0 and most of the guys redeemed themselves superbly. Let’s look at the individual performances. [...]
Sharks advance to Currie Cup Final
The Sharks overcame a poor first half, which saw them trail against the Cheetahs by 3-13 at half time, to record a 20-13 victory that seals their place in next weekend’s Currie Cup Final. [...]
Sharks spoiled for choice as injury cloud lifts

Big win not without cost
While the Sharks will feel that they accomplished their primary goal of scoring a bonus-point win against the Lions – and assuring a fifth-successive Currie Cup home semi-final in the process – the secondary goal of coming through the match unscathed was not to be. [...]
Sharks set for Bok injection
With the Sharks needing to record a convincing win against the Lions this weekend in order to ensure a second-place finish in the Currie Cup (along with the associated revenue from a home semi-final), John Plumtree looks set to use all the resources at his disposal to ensure a favourable result.

The Tri Nations tournament for 2011 is a thing of the past with the Wallabies winning the title in spectacular fashion after beating the All Blacks in Brisbane. Here is the team that I think fairly represents the best players in each position taking into account the series as a whole: [...]

SW Awards – Loosehead

It’s that time of the year when all sorts of awards and prizes get handed to players who have performed well in the Super Rugby tournament. Here at Sharksworld, we tend to do things a little differently, rewarding those players that performed well, performed poorly as well as rewarding them for those idiotic moments. [...]
