The Cell C Sharks have told us that they’ll announce their preliminary tour squad at noon tomorrow; that’s the group of 27 names that coach Jake White would ideally like to take on tour with him, but could obviously be revised should there be any injuries during Friday night’s game against the Highlanders.

Silver linings to Sharks injury cloud

While many teams would be floored by a serious injury to their second-choice flyhalf just weeks after their first-choice had been ruled out for the year, for the Sharks, Saturday’s unfortunate injury to Fred Zeilinga open up a number of options for the coaching staff, most of which are rather enticing indeed.

Sharks mix it up for Waratahs
27 Mar 14 09:27 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 88 Comments
The Sharks coaching staff have opted to make rather widespread changes to the match 23 that will face the Waratahs this weekend, with injury cutting a swathe through the team that narrowly went down at Loftus last week. While the new men brought in are probably not too surprising, it’s a pair of positional switches to the team that will have the tongues wagging most. [...]
Oh hindsight, you wonderful thing!

Job almost done for Sharks XV
17 Mar 14 11:32 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 4 Comments
It was a case of same again for the Cell C Sharks XV, as they overcame a slow and error-strewn first-half performance to comfortably beat a young Western Province XV in Saturday’s Vodacom Cup match in Durban. The fact that the side failed to register a four-try bonus in a 25-7 win is the only blemish on a job otherwise well done. [...]
