Let’s have our regular look at the Sharks player statistics after their good win against WP this past weekend. These are, as usual, courtesy of www.ruggastats.com and Verusco. [...]

Sharks v WP: by the numbers
Could Rory be lost to the Sharks?
One of the personal commitments that I’ve made recently is to tone down the rumour-mongering on this site. That said, I feel it would be remiss of me to completely ignore a pretty big rumour out there at the moment, particularly given that it comes from a usually reliable source. [...]
In his own words: Charl McLeod
Sharksworld caught up with red-hot Sharks scrumhalf Charl McLeod and put some questions to him. Our thanks go to the Sharks for making this interview happen. [...]
Sharks Player Ratings
The following are the team ratings as I saw them at the tank. Please feel free to agree or disagree. [...]
Sharks v Pumas: by the numbers
Looking at a match from a statistical point of view is always interesting – perhaps more so when it’s a match you didn’t actually see. Without the benefit (or is that hindrance) of a subjective opinion on which to base your views, a quite different picture can emerge. Let’s look at the statistics from the Sharks narrow victory over the Pumas on Friday night. [...]
Plum – please don’t Ruan this backline!
In the interests of continuity and form, I feel it is critical that John Plumtree and the Sharks coaching staff resist the temptation to include Ruan Pienaar in the Sharks starting team for this weekend’s crunch game against the Cheetahs. [...]
Sharks player ratings
A far more pleasant task for me this week; rating the Sharks 22 who did so well to beat the Blue Bulls on Saturday. Let me know if you agree with these assessments. [...]
Lambie, Ludik shift as JPP returns
Sharks coach John Plumtree has shuffled his backline with Pat Lambie’s move from fullback to inside centre the main talking point this week. The Sharks take on the Blue Bulls at ABSA Stadium at 17h10 on Saturday. [...]
50 up for Beast, Rocket
The Sharks have named their side to face the Western Force in Durban on Friday night. The occasion marks the 50th Super rugby caps for loosehead prop Beast Mtawarira and scrumhalf Rory Kockott. [...]
Getting to know the Sharks XV
Let’s have a bit of a closer look at the players who’ll be heading down to Pretoria to take on the Blue Bulls in the Vodacom Cup semi-final tomorrow. [...]
A delicate balancing act
With a number of key players carrying injuries, the Sharks as a union need to manage their playing resources very carefully in the coming week, lest the desire to field a strong team against the Bulls in the Super 14 undermines the Sharks XV’s chances of winning their Vodacom Cup semi-final. [...]
Fifteen back at full strength
The Sharks XV welcome back a number of key players for tomorrow night’s must-win clash with Boland in Pietermaritzburg. Having lost to South Western Districts in round 3, Sean Everitt’s team are up against it and can’t afford to slip up again this season. [...]
Sharks XV face uphill battle
The Sharks XV were unfortunate to go down to the SWD Eagles in George on Saturday, tby 10 points to 16. A second away loss in four starts leaves the team with a lot of work to do in order to claim a home semi-final. [...]
Sharks XV do the business in Empangeni
Sean Everitt and his Sharks XV held on to beat a determined Free State side by 26 points to 17 on Saturday in the Vodacom Cup. The win moves the XV back to the top of the log, although their grip on first place is tenuous indeed, based only on points difference. [...]
Shall we Build?
Seasons change, people get older and Rugby moves forward but the Sharks stay the same?! I am getting sick of seeing guys like Gerhard van den Heever and Lionel Mapoe receiving tons of praise in the media, not because i am jealous but rather because i know we have guys in the Sharks ranks who can match these guys given the chance.
