From what I have read here on Sharksworld, and from watching the trials last Friday evening, it is clear that the Sharks have an abundance of talent within the second row, with up to six players in competition for what can at most be only four spots in the Super Squad. [...]

How much is too much?
Could this be it?
Coach John Plumtree has come out and said that he will select his strongest possible squad to face the Kings in Port Elizabeth in two weeks time, meaning that his fringe players will get a run in the game on Friday night against Boland. [...]

Speaking of captaincy…
While we’re pretty quick to point fingers at the Bulls for appointing what many consider to be the wrong captain for their upcoming Super Rugby campaign, it occurs to me that our own beloved Sharks are also in something of an unclear position when it comes to leadership in 2012. [...]
40,30,20,10…
Saturday’s Currie Cup Final against the Lions will see a number of players celebrating personal milestones, yet will sadly also be the last one in Sharks colours for two of the squad. [...]
Botes to miss the final cut?
He came onto the field in the 77th minute of last week’s semi-final, earning his 100th Currie Cup cap in the process, but for all his stalwart service over the last 5 years, don’t be too surprised to see Jacques Botes ommitted from the match 22 when coach John Plumtree names his Sharks side for the Currie Cup Final.

Confidence… Justified
Could we move on from the – where who should play and where who will “maybe” play and look at what we have and will be up against in Saturday’s semi-final. It seems after the inhalation of the log topping Lions in the final pool game, [...]
Three more Sharks ruled out
The injection of some “Bok beef” couldn’t come at a better time for the Sharks and while coach John Plumtree is making all the right noises about leaving it up to each individual as to whether he wants to play or not, the reality is, the team would be in dire straits without them. Two new players have been confirmed out after last weekend’s game against the Leopards, with a third also finally confirmed as being on the injured list. [...]

The Sharks team to face the Bulls at Loftus this weekend has been announced, and sees a few changes to the forward pack, as our psychic Rob Otto predicted. [...]
Marais in line for start?
It’s always somewhat dodgy to draw conclusions from a photograph, but if one or two of the snaps I’ve seen of the Sharks training session yesterday have any relevance, then John Plumtree might be looking to freshen up his second row ahead of Saturday’s must-win clash against the Blue Bulls. [...]
