Former Sharks age-group scrumhalf Tian Meyer has been called up as cover to the Lions Super Rugby squad, after injury looks to have ruled out two of their off-season acquisitions. [...]
Conradie in the mix

All I want for Christmas…
What’s that sound I hear? Sleigh bells? Somebody creeping down the chimney with a “ho ho ho”? Fat men in red suits handing out expensive gifts to complete strangers? Time to get that old Christmas list done, I reckon! [...]
Rocket does it again!
In what is becoming something of a weekly feature, I’d like to quickly draw attention (once again) to former Sharks scrumhalf Rory Kockott’s most recent exploits in France. [...]

SA Schools selection for Fisher, Tom
Despite the disappointment of suffering a heavy loss against the Blue Bulls at Craven Week, there was a measure of cheer for the KZN U18 team yesterday as two of their backline stars were rewarded with selection to the South African Schools side. The team, predictably, has a very Grey Kollege and Waterkloof look to it, with the strongest schools in the Free State and Blue Bulls region respectively well represented as always. [...]
Big step up for Rick
Former Sharks age-group scrumhalf Shannon Rick has been picked up by Griquas for the Currie Cup season and looks set to start against Western Province this weekend. Sarel Pretorius is struggling with a knee injury and is unlikely to be fit. [...]
