8 of the best for Sharks in 2013
Sharks HP coach quits
Long-time Sharks Academy head coach – and the head of the new Sharks High Performance unit – Swys de Bruin, has quit the union to take up a senior position with the Golden Lions. [...]
Staring into the Blue abyss
When the story about schoolboy rugby sensation Johann Sadie’s request to be released from his R1.4m per annum Bulls contract made waves yesterday, I couldn’t but wonder, if Heyneke was still the Bulls Director of Rugby, would two of the players he personally headhunted – Daniel Adongo & Sadie – with a different style of play in mind, be on the out or on the way at the Loftus?

Bulls confirm Kriel coup
After a stunning opening-day win over Free State, the 2012 Craven Week competition unfortunately yielded little further joy for the KZN Schools team, with narrow losses to first the Golden Lions and then EP following as the week progressed.

SARU moves to end schoolboy poaching
The South African Rugby Union has announced a new set of regulations aimed at controlling the somewhat messy and jungle-like process by which promising schoolboy players are snapped up by provincial unions. [...]
The rise and rise of Marcell Coetzee
It’s been said before here – in fact, many times over during the course of the last two years – but I think that on the eve of his first Springbok cap, we need to once again point out exactly how proud we are of young Marcell Coetzee.

A proper storm is erupting through the schoolboy rugby world in KwaZulu-Natal, with at least two prominent players found to be drastically over-age for the competitions they’ve been playing in. [...]
