It’s always somewhat dodgy to draw conclusions from a photograph, but if one or two of the snaps I’ve seen of the Sharks training session yesterday have any relevance, then John Plumtree might be looking to freshen up his second row ahead of Saturday’s must-win clash against the Blue Bulls. [...]
Sharks v Lions: by the numbers
It’s always far less fun doing this after the team has suffered a loss, but let’s see if we can glean anything from the match statistics that might help to understand where things went wrong. The numbers we’re using, as always, are courtesy of www.ruggastats.com. [...]
Sharks player ratings vs Lions
The Sharks succumbed to their second Currie Cup loss of the season, going down to the Lions in Johannesburg on Saturday evening. It was a disappointing performance from our team as a whole, but let’s take a look at the individual performances. [...]

Once again, it’s a bit of a quiet week on the personal milestones front for the Sharks side named to take on the Lions this weekend. [...]
Sharks backtrack on Terblanche
Well, there’s never a dull moment down in Durban, is there? Stefan Terblanche seems to have a very understanding wife and will take his place at outside centre for the Sharks against the Lions this weekend after all. [...]
Sharks get Bok pair back
23 Aug 11 15:01 by robdylan | Currie Cup, Original Content, RWC 2011, Sharks, Springboks | 34 Comments
As speculation mounts about the composition of the Boks World Cup squad, two Sharks players appear to have had their selection hopes dashed. While it’s of course premature to say anything with certainty, the presence of Lwazi Mvovo and Jean Deysel at Sharks practice today does indicate that the pair won’t be on the plane when the Boks depart for New Zealand next month. [...]

Sharks to get Bok boost?

Finally the stats for the last two Tri Nations games have become available, and there are some shocking results which have come through, where one the so-called ‘missing’ players had actually been one of the busier ones. I have put together the stats for both games and will report these as one. [...]
A timely injection? (Or unwanted disruption)
It’s three rounds into the 2011 Currie Cup and the Sharks are sitting pretty, having won all three of their games to date. More impressively, though, two of those games have been against fellow “top five” opposition, with a squad containing close to a dozen players who are playing their first full season of Currie Cup rugby.
