A last-second try from Jan Serfontein has cruelly denied the Sharks even a losing bonus point in a Loftus clash that went right down to the wire. The Bulls emerged with all the spoils in a 43-35 victory. [...]

Becoming somewhat predictaBULL

A predictable approach from the Sharks against the Bulls at Loftus on Saturday won’t help their cause in the early stages of the competition. At times over the last few seasons the Sharks have really played some brilliant rugby, stepping up to the occasion and when their backs were against the wall pulling together as a team and achieving the unexpected.

Time to turn the screws

The win over the Lions was wonderful for the Sharks and I’m sure, as fans, we are all still buzzing after the great wet weather performance that delivered a rather unexpected bonus point. For the Sharks team, though, those celebrations would have been over by Sunday already and all at Kings Park are already fully focused on the next challenge: Saturday’s trip to Loftus. [...]
What they had to say…

What a great weekend by the Sharks. I’ve seldom seen a more composed display by a number 10 in wet weather, so hats off to Pat Lambie. In saying that, he couldn’t have played the way he did without our forwards putting in a massive effort to outclass the highly rated Lions side. [...]
Player ratings: Good, better, best!

What an amazing turnaround from the Sharks, after a lame showing against the Cheetahs in Round 1. Saturday’s 29-12 bonus point win against the Lions was as satisfying as it was surprising, especially given the way it came about – and the treacherous conditions. [...]

Composed Cheetahs edge shaky Sharks

The Sharks got their Super Rugby campaign off to a poor start, going down 29-35 to the Cheetahs in Durban yesterday. With the home team looking short of rhythm and ideas for much of the contest, it was the high-flying visitors who scored four tries to take maximum points from the fixture. [...]

I’ve had the benefit of a second, more detailed, viewing of the Sharks’ match against Toulon and wanted to highlight a few things that stood out for me. [...]
Sharks prevail against the odds
6 Feb 15 11:21 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 51 Comments
A plucky Sharks team, clearly still very much in the throes of pre season rust, tackled and harried their way to an unlikely, yet ultimately rather satisfying, 12-10 win over European champions RC Toulon at the Stade Felix Mayol last night. [...]
