While post-match statements attributed to Sharks coach John Plumtree would appear to suggest sweeping changes to the Sharks team to face the Pumas on Friday night, the coach would be wise to cool his heels a little before making any rash decisions to drop the core of his “complacent” squad. [...]

Easy does it, Plum
What to do, what to do?
When John Plumtree was forced to send Pat Lambie in at flyhalf against the Lions, you got the feeling that it was pretty much a gamble that the coach was forced to make, after Steve Meyer ruled himself out for the season. A short-term fix, but not to worry, because replacements were on their way… [...]
Sharks v Griquas: by the numbers
Looking at the statistics – and being in the position, like most, of being unable to actually see the match – I reckon you could be forgiven for thinking that the Sharks must have absolutely whitewashed Griquas this weekend. Perhaps they did, but one Griquas player, Bjorn Basson, certainly didn’t get the memo! [...]
Meyer’s season may be over
A report on a popular website seems to suggest that Sharks flyhalf Steve Meyer will require surgery to repair the knee ligament injury he sustained against the Cheetahs this weekend. [...]
Lambie set for flyhalf shift
Pat Lambie, the 19 year old prodigy, might make his shift to the all important flyhalf position much quicker than he originally thought. [...]
Not another flyhalf crisis?
John Plumtree looks like he may have to choose between starting Monty Dumond at flyhalf against the Lions this weekend, or risk moving Pat Lambie to his third position in five games. [...]
Monty to start, Meyer benched
If rumours are to be believed, Steve Meyer has rolled his ankle in training and will be relegated to the bench for tonight’s game against the Pumas. It is probable that Monty Dumond will get the opportunity to show his worth by getting his first start of the Currie Cup season. [...]
Monty nominated for Vodacom Cup award
SA Rugby have announced the nominations for both the Super 14 and Vodacom Cup Player of the Year awards. Sharks XV flyhalf Monty Dumond has been nominated in the latter category. [...]
No Cronje for Currie Cup?
Hopes that young Guy Cronje might emerge as the front-runner for the Sharks number 10 jersey this Currie Cup season seem to be fading fast, with the young player still a month away from being able to take full part in training, following off-season surgery. [...]
Where To From Here?
Enough doom and gloom from my side lets look at the road ahead : [...]
Lambie must play flyhalf NOW
While it’s pretty easy to see that, in taking a dig at Andy Goode’s form over the last few weeks, John Plumtree’s real target was none other than Rudolf Straeuli, the coach has painted himself into a real corner when it comes to team selection for Saturday’s clash against the Stormers. [...]
Getting to know the Sharks XV
Let’s have a bit of a closer look at the players who’ll be heading down to Pretoria to take on the Blue Bulls in the Vodacom Cup semi-final tomorrow. [...]
Murray moves again
Sharksworld can reveal that Waylon Murray is set to play in the unfamiliar inside centre position for the Sharks XV on Saturday, as Sean Everitt’s team look to beat Griquas and advance to the Vodacom Cup semi-finals. [...]
Goode likely to stick around
We’re awaiting confirmation from the Sharks that Andy Goode has been granted a work permit and will indeed be available for the remainder of the Super 14. [...]
Sharks XV do the business in Empangeni
Sean Everitt and his Sharks XV held on to beat a determined Free State side by 26 points to 17 on Saturday in the Vodacom Cup. The win moves the XV back to the top of the log, although their grip on first place is tenuous indeed, based only on points difference. [...]
