Skeate confirmed out
Those who saw Ross Skeate leave the field just 11 minutes into the Sharks’ game against the Pumas last week – and have been following the saga of his broken nose on Twitter – will be unsurprised to learn that the big lock has been ruled out of action for two weeks or so, while the damage heals.

Sharks player ratings v Pumas
It’s safe to say opinion is divided when it comes to the Sharks’ 33-20 victory over the Pumas this weekend.

Scrumhalf question might also need answering
With Conrad Hoffmann’s injury ruling him out of the first few rounds of the Currie cup season and a possible Tri Nations call up for Charl McLeod, the Sharks management may have another positional conundrum on their hands. If Charl McLeod is not available for the start of the Currie cup, a decision on who will play will scrumhalf need to be made. [...]
What’s so good about Freddy anyway?
When the news broke yesterday about Fred Michalak’s ultra-secret return to the Sharks, the general consensus from around the blogosphere seemed to be that this was, indeed, a “good thing”. One or two dissenting voices were raised, of course, but for the most part, Sharks fans seem pretty chuffed that the little French maestro is back. [...]
