Sharks bulk up for Bulls
Key Puma laid low by ‘flu
Pumas flyhalf Ricardo Croy looks to have been ruled out of Friday’s second-round Currie Cup clash against the Sharks, at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit. The versatile pivot, who was one of the standout players in his side’s good opening performance against the Lions, is suffering from a bout of the ‘flu. [...]
Who needs rest?
So John Plumtree has announced, in no uncertain terms, that he will not ever pick a B-team to represent the Sharks, because as coach, he has too much respect for the jersey to ever willingly lose a game (or, I guess, pick a team that he doesn’t feel has a good chance to win the game). Good on him, I say. [...]
Use the bench, Plum!
Anton Bresler, named on the bench to face the Leopards this evening, will win only his third Sharks cap if he runs onto the field. Despite being part of the squad all season, the young lock forward has enjoyed a total of 19 minutes of on-field action, despite being named in the match 22 on three occasions. [...]
Substitution confusion
How’s that for a rhyming Keo-style headline? Ok, so I digress, but what was with the Sharks’ substitutions against the Bulls this weekend? [...]
Forward obsession
Did anyone else notice that the Sharks, suddenly two scores behind against the Bulls and needing to throw caution to the wind, opted to bring on a clutch of forward replacements? [...]
2010 S14 – Game 35, Bulls (19) vs Hurricanes (18) F/T
The Bulls play their last home game before their tour against the Hurricanes. [...]
So Where to Now?
Sharks have an interesting Super 14 ahead. They can either burn themselves out by trying to get a playoff spot, or re-build and maybe pick up a semi on the way. [...]
Sharks team for Crusaders announced
The Sharks have named their team for friday’s game against the Crusaders. There are a few changes to the forward pack while the backline remains unchanged. [...]
2010 Super 14-Game 13, Bulls (50) v Brumbies (32) F/T
This could turn out to be one of the most important games of the tournament, with two of the early favourites and first round winners the Bulls and Brumbies doing battle in Pretoria. [...]
Sharks team for Cheetahs clash
The Sharks team for this Friday’s match against the Cheetahs has been announced with a few changes in both the backline and forward pack. [...]
Cheetahs name team
The Cheetahs have named their team to take on the Sharks at the ABSA Stadium this Friday from 18:00. As expected, Lionel Mapoe is brought into the 13 jersey after Corne Uys was injured with Danwel Demas brought into the 14 jersey. The unexpected changes comes with Ashley Johnson being dropped to the bench in place of Frans Viljoen. [...]
Bekker, JPP on their way home
The Springboks will have a new right wing when they tackle the Wallabies in a Tri-Nations encounter in Brisbane at the Suncorp Stadium on Saturday. [...]
Sorting the subs shambles
I see the usual Div-bashers are out in force. Imagine what they’d be like if we actually lost a test-match? Fact is, though, Div goofed pretty badly with his substitution strategy on Saturday. The coach has admitted it, though and let’s hope he won’t make the same mistake at Loftus. [...]
Div admits replacement blunder
Springbok coach Peter de Villiers admitted that it was a mistake to send on a rash of second-half replacements, which almost cost his team victory in their nail-biting 26-21 triumph over the British and Irish Lions in Durban on Saturday. [...]
