The Sharks recorded an unexpected, 4-wicket win over the Sunfoil Dolphins in yesterday’s Pick’n'Pay Durban Challenge T20 match, at Sahara Park Kingsmead.

Where it all went wrong

Western Province beat the Sharks to Currie Cup glory last Saturday, outplaying the home favourites to take their first title in 11 years.

10 Oct 12 15:39 by Maria Delport (Letgo) | 60 Comments
Patrick Lambie has been included at flyhalf in the Sharks team to take on the Griquas at Kings Park on Friday night at 19:00. Lambie is the only one of the returning Bok players to be including in the starting line-up, with four others in Craig Burden, Marcell Coetzee, Jannie du Plessis and Lwazi Mvovo bound to make their impact of the bench. Willem Alberts and Beast Mtawarira earn a well deserved rest after a taxing year of rugby. [...]

Sharks in control with one round left
7 Oct 12 14:32 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 20 Comments
In a result that catapulted them back to the top of the Currie Cup log, the Sharks scored a 37-30, bonus-point win over the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein last night. The result sews up a home semi-final for the men from Durban (for the 6th year in succession) and ensures that even a few points against Griquas in Durban on Friday night will see them win the right to host the final, should they progress that far. [...]
