The good news for the Sharks, ahead of this weekend’s Currie Cup clash with the Lions, is that Lwazi Mvovo will be available for selection. [...]
Pat returns at last
15 Sep 16 11:16 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 41 Comments
Chiliboy Ralepelle will captain the Sharks for the first time in a Currie Cup game, when the side take on Eastern Province at Kings Park on Saturday. All eyes will be on the bench this week, though, with Springbok Pat Lambie set to finally make his return to the game in the second half. [...]
Time to regroup
14 Sep 16 09:49 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 59 Comments
With the Sharks having picked up just a single log point from their last two games, 2016′s Currie Cup campaign has started to go alarmingly pear-shaped. Saturday’s game against the EP Kings in Durban represents a chance to pick up some much-needed points and get things moving in the right direction again, but the climb from here is a steep one, given the mounting injury toll.

Sharks injury molehill turning into a mountain

Things are not looking up for the Sharks after two nightmare weeks on the field. Today’s injury report reads like a Stephen King novel for fans of the team. [...]
Toetie, A victim of circumstance or just plain unlucky?
9 Sep 16 10:34 by Henko Pienaar (Mutley) | 25 Comments
Most people will not agree with me, but I think Allister Coetzee is a good coach, he is one dimensional in his approach, but with the right players his approach wins games. Whether he is the right person for the Bok job is still a question, but he has certainly achieved enough to warrant his selection. [...]
Pat Lambie back on the field
6 Sep 16 09:37 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 74 Comments
It’s early days yet, but Patrick Lambie’s long-running process of getting back into rugby took a big step forward yesterday, as he was cleared to return to field training with the Sharks squad. [...]
Good news for Pat

A big well done to Independent Media’s Darryn Pollock for getting to the bottom of the Pat Lambie concussion situation in an article this morning. [...]
Few Bok losses for Sharks
1 Aug 16 09:28 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 65 Comments
With the Currie Cup kicking off on Friday, talk will inevitably be focused on which players from their Super Rugby squads the respective unions will need to replace; The Rugby Championship runs contiguously with the country’s provincial competition and we should expect that all contracted Bok players – as well as non-contracted players selected in Allister Coetzee’s squad – will this be unavailable.

Support first, politics later
18 Jul 16 11:30 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 94 Comments
There’s a lot of noise doing the rounds right now regarding the Sharks’ and their backroom dealings. My view is that we have a really big game to focus on, though and should rather be throwing our weight behind the guys ON the field this week. [...]

Allow me a little rant, if you will? I’m not sure if you’ve seen this article, but in case you haven’t, have a quick read before continuing. [...]
Still no Pat
13 Jul 16 07:05 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 65 Comments
In a development that is likely to cause some consternation for fans, it appears that Pat Lambie will once again not be cleared to play for the Sharks this weekend. Lambie is still not completely clear of concussion symptoms after being knocked out cold during the Springboks’ first test against Ireland nearly six weeks ago. [...]
Backing April
6 Jul 16 09:32 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 108 Comments
It’s now official that Pat Lambie has been ruled out for at least another week, meaning the Sharks flyhalf jersey for this weekend’s game against the Cheetahs is “up for grabs”. In my view, Garth April is the man who simply has to be backed in that key position, despite an indifferent performance at Ellis Park on Saturday. [...]
Three Sharks ruled out
4 Jul 16 15:23 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 48 Comments
Willie le Roux will definitely not play for the Sharks again the Cheetahs in Super Rugby this weekend, the Bok fullback having been ruled out due to a shoulder injury sustained in the third test between the springboks and Ireland at the end of June. [...]
