The Griquas team to face the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein this Saturday has been announced, with no changes from the team that beat the Bulls in Kimberley last weekend.

While I realise that most Sharks fans are quite happy wallowing in the doom and gloom of yet another poor performance against substandard opposition (notwithstanding the 5 log points gained), I feel duty-bound to point out the, shall we say, “interesting” developments that have unfolded on the log this weekend.

Sharks looked like a pub team
26 Sep 11 10:00 by Richard Ferguson | Currie Cup, Original Content, Other SA Teams, Sharks | 11 Comments
Sharks coach John Plumtree was in a funny mood after the match against Griquas, where the Sharks managed to score five points yes, but did so in a way that does not instil much confidence as the Currie Cup reaches the business end. [...]
Sharks ‘power’ to five point win
The Sharks successfully overcame a strong Griquas effort on Friday night to secure a 29 – 18 bonus point win, making it three from three in their attempt to make life difficult for themselves against the smaller unions.
