Sharksworld has reliably learned that impressive College Rovers flyhalf Wes Dunlop has been snapped up by the Blue Bulls ahead of next season. Dunlop, known as “Horse” to his friends, was instrumental in securing Rovers’ maiden National Club Championship trophy last month. [...]

Ludik’s poison is meat for Hargreaves
I need to correct something I wrote yesterday. Alistair Hargreaves is not replacing Wilhelm Steenkamp in the Sharks touring party. Rather, he is taking up the vacant 26th spot which was being reserved for Louis Ludik. [...]
Bresler, Ludik in as Sharks XV squad confirmed
Sean Everitt has named his Sharks XV squad to battle the Border Bulldogs at ABSA Stadium Durban on Friday evening. Entrance to the ground is free and kick-off is at 18h00. [...]
Not time to hit the panic stations
The recent warm-up game against the Western Force was a disappointing result, although it does need to be seen in the right context as well. While some reports and comments (not on this site) have suggested that the Sharks do not have a strong enough squad to compete in the Super 14 this year and that they are undergoing a “transitional phase”, I believe that there is more than enough potential for this squad to be competitive. [...]
Terblanche retains Sharks captaincy
Although Johann Muller has been cleared to start for the Sharks against Griquas this weekend, fullback Stefan Terblanche will continue to lead the team. Argentinian flyhalf Juan Hernández has not yet recovered from an ankle injury picked up two weeks ago. [...]
Front row problems for Sharks
The very last thing the Sharks need heading into this weekend’s crunch match with Griquas is further upheavals in the front row, but it looks like that’s exactly what they’ll get. [...]
What was I expecting?
I’m not all that sure why I’m so upset about the Sharks’ performance last night, since I did, after all, predict it and knew we were on a hiding to nothing. In fact, I’ve been banging on about it all week. I guess it’s because we flattered to deceive in the first half, before turning belly up and being flattened in the second. [...]
Cheetahs shatter Sharks’ dream
The Cheetahs, for so long the bogey team of the Sharks, have done it again. It took them nine long weeks, but the men from Bloemfontein scored their first win of the season in beating the Sharks comprehensively, 31-6, on Saturday. [...]
Sharks need to keep the momentum
After eight gruelling but incredibly successful weeks of Super 14 rugby for the Sharks, their bye-in round 11 undoubtedly cannot come quick enough, but they can ill afford to rest up now. [...]
Saluting the replacements
You know, If you’d told me a few months ago that the Sharks could lose Jean Deysel, Ruan Pienaar and JP Pietersen and STILL beat the Hurricanes comfortably, I’d have said you were completely delusional. [...]
JP bracketed with Zuks
JP Pietersen has been named in the Sharks team to face the Hurricanes this weekend, but will need to pass a late fitness test before the game. If he falls out, he will be replaced by young Luzuko Vulindlu in the number 11 jersey. [...]
Sharks XV beat the Wellington heat
The Sharks XV mastered sweltering conditions in Wellington to beat the Boland Cavaliers 43-18 (halftime 16-11) in an opening round Vodacom Cup match on Friday. [...]
Sharks will ‘cope’ with pressure
The Sharks, as Currie Cup champions and Super 14 semifinalists for the last two years (runners-up in 2007), know they will be targeted by other teams trying to knock over South Africa’s big guns. [...]
