Sharks XV coach Sean Everitt has named a 24-man squad to represent the Sharks XV in an exhibition match in Newcastle on Friday afternoon.

Sharks will be forced into changes
I’m not sure what John Plumtree’s selection strategy was going to be for the warm-up game against the Stormers this weekend, but a number of injuries resulting from last night’s game against the Lions will force his hand to some extent. [...]
Vulindlu’s Breakthrough…
His name is a bit of a mouthful. So much so that I tend to call him Vindaloo most of the time and more often than not get looked at with a mixture of confusion and ire. Nonetheless, I think 2011 is going to be his breakthrough season. Now, the most obvious question after a sweeping statement like that is usually and quite rightly, “well, why?” and that is a question I don’t have an answer to just yet, but after the postulating that follows you may see my reasoning… [...]

Moving on from Mapoe
Losing out on contracting Lionel Mapoe is a pretty bitter blow indeed for the Sharks and the powers that be will need to have a proper think about what to do next. Whatever your opinion happens to be on the way the matter was handled, the fact is, from a rugby point of view, having Mapoe in the squad would have added much-needed depth in a problem position. [...]
Sharks XV team shows 4 changes for semi
Sean Everitt has named his side to face the Blue Bulls in this weekend’s Vodacom Cup semi-final on the Loftus Versveld C-field. While there is good news in the return of Louis Ludik to the squad, the absence of big-name players in Wiehahn Herbst and Waylon Murray may cause some concern. [...]
