Van Straaten now a full time Wallaby
King Louis returns
Louis Koen, remember him? The scrumcap-wearing flyhalf who played 15 tests for the Boks a few years ago. The same Louis Koen who has been coaching in Boland for two seasons. [...]
What to do, what to do?
When John Plumtree was forced to send Pat Lambie in at flyhalf against the Lions, you got the feeling that it was pretty much a gamble that the coach was forced to make, after Steve Meyer ruled himself out for the season. A short-term fix, but not to worry, because replacements were on their way… [...]
Meyer’s season may be over
A report on a popular website seems to suggest that Sharks flyhalf Steve Meyer will require surgery to repair the knee ligament injury he sustained against the Cheetahs this weekend. [...]
JLP on why he is becoming a Shark
With news of his move to the Sharks for next season already confirmed, Jacques-Louis Potgieter has spoken openly about his desire to push for a spot in the Springboks’ 2011 World Cup squad. [...]

Ready to make his mark: Sharksworld chats to Steve Meyer
After something of a false start to his Sharks comeback earlier this year, flyhalf Steve Meyer is very much committed to making a huge impact on this year’s Currie Cup campaign for the Sharks. Sharksworld caught up with him for a quick chat. [...]
Pretorius linked to Sharks
The words “you have got to be kidding me” were the first to form in my mind when a rumour surfaced last week about Andre Pretorius joining the Sharks for this season’s Currie Cup. I’m afraid that this one has now passed my “two unrelated sources” test and thus must have some grain of truth to it. [...]
Steyn slots a monster
Francois Steyn slotted one of the biggest dropgoals I’ve ever seen over the weekend in the French T14 play-offs. [...]
Pienaar underlines his class
Ruan Pienaar put in the sort of performance on Saturday that should confound his critics and once again open up the debate about which position suits his skills best. Those seeking to reinstate Pienaar at flyhalf on a permanent basis are missing the point, though. [...]
Plumtree: “I said no such thing”
John Plumtree has hit back against allegations that he publicly criticised the form of Andy Goode during Saturday evening’s post-match press conference at Loftus – and by implication, the performance of Commercial Director Rudi Straeuli when it comes to matters of procurement. [...]
Lambie must play flyhalf NOW
While it’s pretty easy to see that, in taking a dig at Andy Goode’s form over the last few weeks, John Plumtree’s real target was none other than Rudolf Straeuli, the coach has painted himself into a real corner when it comes to team selection for Saturday’s clash against the Stormers. [...]
Got to keep Pienaar – simply have to
There’ve been a few developments on the player front over the last week that we probably need to spend some more time discussing. Deon Carstens has confirmed that he will leave after the Super 14, but it’s yet another round of halfback developments that cause me the most concern. [...]
Goode available – or is he?
In an interview with the Sharks website, coach John Plumtree indicated that Andy Goode is available to continue playing for the Sharks from a legal point of view, but that he may well be kept out of action this weekend by a hamstring strain. [...]
