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. [...]
Solving the depth problem
Now that the dust has settled just a little, perhaps it’s time to look back on what went wrong for the Sharks in the Super 14 and see if we can find a way forward. [...]

When structure trumps skill
I’ve been doing some thinking about the Bulls and have reached some conclusions that I’m not liking, to be frank. In fact, some of this stuff is starting to test my convictions to the very limit. [...]
IRB to fix uncontested scrums?
There’s a fair bit of talk that the IRB want to introduce a 23-man squad to ensure that teams always have a fit complement of front-rowers. I’m not sure exactly how this is meant to work. [...]
Saluting the replacements
You know, If you’d told me a few months ago that the Sharks could lose Jean Deysel, Ruan Pienaar and JP Pietersen and STILL beat the Hurricanes comfortably, I’d have said you were completely delusional. [...]
Scan confirms broken arm for Flynn
Crusaders hooker Corey Flynn is likely to miss the rest of the Rebel Sport Super 14 season after re-breaking his left arm in the match against the Brumbies in Canberra on Saturday night. [...]
George gripped in Sevens Fever
The beautiful city of George is once more gripped in Sevens fever as the final preparations get underway for the 2008 Emirates Airline SA Sevens tournament at the Outeniqua Park Stadium. [...]
Muller must get the call
Well, it looks like we’re going to pay a hefty price for our somewhat scrappy win over Six Nations champions Wales yesterday. [...]
