The Waratahs came away with 5 points after scoring their bonus point try in the final 5 minutes, taking the win from the Sharks, who managed to stay within seven points to pick up a point. [...]

Sharks forced into changes for ‘Tahs
The Sharks team to face the Waratahs on Saturday has been announced, and the team is pretty much as we all anticipated, with Steven Sykes playing off the bench, Jandre Marais getting his first start for the Sharks and JP Pietersen sitting out the game altogether. [...]
How are we doing?
As promised, let’s do our bi-weekly check-in on the Sharks to see how well players are being managed in terms of game time. [...]
Sharks v Reds: by the numbers
What better way to ease us all in the Human Rights Day celebrations could there be than to digest a statistical analysis of the Sharks’ game against the Reds? Yes, yes – I know that’s pushing it, but I at least had to try! [...]
Sharks fightback stuns Reds
The Sharks have beaten the Reds by 27 points to 22 in Durban, after a stuttering start that saw the visitors race away to a 17-0 lead after half an hour. Each side scored three tries in an exciting game played out at a wet and windy Kings Park. [...]
Sharks need to hook smart ahead of tour
Another cringe-worthy headline, I fear, but hopefully some sense behind what I’m trying to say! The news coming out of yesterday’s press conference that Bismarck du Plessis picked up a knock to his knee during Saturday’s game against the Lions once again reiterates that the Sharks simply HAVE to do more to rotate in this key position. [...]
Confidence taken from first 2012 victory
I went to my first press conference on Tuesday afternoon. I know I should probably be all cool about it, but that just really doesn’t seem like me. I must say I was very nervous and excited, but mostly just nervous, I’m not that good in new situations, I need time to ease myself into my surroundings. [...]

Happy birthday to the twins!
Sharkworld would like to wish a happy 26th birthday to the unlikeliest set of twins ever, Sharks flanks Keegan Daniel and Jean Deysel. [...]
One…FINAL…time
So, I have been called a “very kwaai Tannie” by some bloggers lately. But I also feel this needs to be said, although I might get some flack on wasting space on this forum! 
Super Rugby preview – Sharks
Our final preview takes a look at the Sharks team for the 2012 Super Rugby season. The Sharks finished sixth last year, conceding to the Crusaders in a play-off match in New Zealand, but will hope to go one better and make it into the semi-finals. [...]
The depth of Plumtree’s concern
Sharks coach John Plumtree faces a real poser this morning, having earlier announced that the team for this weekend’s match against the Kings will resemble, as closely as possible, the unit that he hopes to pick against the Bulls in the Super Rugby opener a week later. [...]
Smart rugby from the Sharks
I have been very fortunate in that I have been able to be at Kings Park for both the trial match a week or so ago as well as the friendly against Boland last Friday. I am well aware that not a lot can be read into these games, but a few things have stood out. [...]
