Sharks get all five
The Sharks have beaten the Lions at Kings Park by 32 points to 20, bagging a try bonus point in the process. [...]
Creeping towards 100
Should Jacques Botes take the field on Saturday against the Lions, which is pretty likely, he will win a 90th Super Rugby cap for the Sharks, an important individual milestone on the way to the magical 100 mark. [...]
Alberts starts against the Lions
Sharks coach John Plumtree has wasted little time in getting Willem Alberts straight back into the starting line-up. [...]
Consider this

The Sharks started their season with a loss against the Bulls on Friday night, managing a bonus point for finishing within seven points of the men from Pretoria. This was a disappointing start to the season as a lot is expected from the Sharks this season. But let’s consider a few things before giving up all hope. [...]
Bulls take spoils in scrappy encounter
The Bulls have beaten the Sharks by 18 points to 13 in a match littered with errors from both sides. [...]
Sharks forced into changes
You’ve got to hand it to the muppets running the judicial process in SA Rugby… they’ve seen fit to finally get around to convening a disciplinary hearing after Fred Michalak was cited for a “late and dangerous tackle” in last year’s Currie Cup final! [...]
Sharks selection picture becomes a little clearer
John Plumtree has revealed that he sees the final warm up game, against the Kings in PE, as a “dress rehearsal” for the season opener against the Bulls the following week. That’s a pretty clear indication that he will field his strongest side in that game with this weekend’s outing against Boland earmarked for a little more experimentation. [...]
Final thoughts on the Trial match
The Sharks’ internal trials took place on Friday night, and while there have been a few reports coming from various spectators on the night, I thought I would weigh in with a few views of my own. [...]
The Trial Match. A few observations.
The Sharks trial match was held this weekend and I thought I’d share a few of the insights I got from attending this event. [...]
Sharks Rugby making all the right noises
The Sharks Rugby Union must be on some kind of high after news hit late yesterday that Steven Sykes has signed a 1 year contract with them, and now they have managed to extend the contracts of most of their big name players. [...]
Speaking of captaincy…
While we’re pretty quick to point fingers at the Bulls for appointing what many consider to be the wrong captain for their upcoming Super Rugby campaign, it occurs to me that our own beloved Sharks are also in something of an unclear position when it comes to leadership in 2012. [...]
Sharks change one on the bench
The Sharks team for the Currie Cup Final contains only one change on the bench, with Alistair Hargreaves replacing Jacques Botes. [...]
Botes to miss the final cut?
He came onto the field in the 77th minute of last week’s semi-final, earning his 100th Currie Cup cap in the process, but for all his stalwart service over the last 5 years, don’t be too surprised to see Jacques Botes ommitted from the match 22 when coach John Plumtree names his Sharks side for the Currie Cup Final. [...]
Ton up for Botes
Jacques Botes, named on the bench for the Sharks this weekend, will win his 100th Currie Cup cap for the Durban team should he take the field at any stage during Saturday’s semi-final against the Cheetahs. [...]
