S’bura Sithole steps into the Sharksworld channel
2 Mar 16 12:34 by Benedict Chanakira (bchanakira2) | 53 Comments
Sibusiso ‘S’bura’ Sithole is an Eastern Cape raised, rugby loving, quiet, hardworking player that has taken our breath away whenever he has played. He broke onto the scene when he scored one of the greatest tries in the history of South Africa Sevens against Australia. S’bura is currently part of the Sharks Super Rugby season and Sharksworld managed to grab the explosive back to find out what he is expecting from the year and what that try against Australia was all about. S’bura is part of the long line of proud Queens College graduates that have donned the black and white jumper! [...]
New midfield for Sharks
20 Aug 15 10:05 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 177 Comments
Gary Gold has made a number of changes to his side for Saturday’s crunch Currie Cup clash against the Golden Lions at Kings Park. Changes at halfback and in midfield are perhaps the most significant, although the forward pack has also undergone a reshuffle. [...]
What they had to say: Sharks vs Rebels, Round 16
1 Jun 15 10:58 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 18 Comments
Hi Sharks fans. What can one say after a performance like we saw on Friday night? I suppose the late withdrawals of Kankowski and Alberts played their part. It was nice to see Majola get a run, but that’s about as far as rotation this year has gone. [...]

The irreplacables: 2015 edition
14 Jan 15 10:30 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 329 Comments
Injury: it’s a factor in every Super Rugby campaign. There’s not a lot you can really do about it, other than do as much as you can in pre-season to ensure the bodies are strong and then hope like hell that a bit of good luck and a lot of depth gets you through the season. [...]
S’bura’s big push
9 Oct 14 09:55 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 15 Comments
If reports are to be believed (and common sense to prevail) then it seems as though the Sharks will ask S’bura Sithole to step once more in the Sharks number 13 jersey. Despite some impressive performances in that position, Sithole, it seems, has never quite managed to convince the brains trust that he should be an automatic selection there, but will have the opportunity over the next few weeks to do exactly that. [...]

Settle Down
29 May 14 10:36 by Martin van Niekerk (vanmartin) | 34 Comments
I’ve been trying to get this article out since our loss to the Brumbies but circumstances have conspired against me. A fair amount of water has passed under the bridge since that game but it has in the process confirmed a few of my own suspicions regarding what the Sharks have been missing during their midseason malaise. It’s by no means the only contributing factor but I’d like to focus on this particular facet because it is so often overlooked. [...]
Sharks player ratings v Crusaders

Wow, what a game! I think there will be very little disagreement that as a collective – and for sheer guts and determination – the Sharks deserve 11/10 for that display. [...]
