Let’s assume, for just a second, that we all (well, most of us) get our wish and the Sharks enter the 2014 Super Rugby season with a new coaching team in charge of the side. My view is that while moves to establish that coaching team do need to start as quickly as possible, it’s probably better if it’s not done as a rush job, rather that the appropriate time is spent ensuring that the right people, with the right credentials, are involved.

Everitt maintains continuity
Sharks XV coach Sean Everitt has named a mostly unchanged side for his team’s second-round Vodacom Cup clash in Cape Town this weekend. Whilst his charges performed superbly in delivering a proper beating to Border last week, the coach is keen not to let anyone get ahead of themselves, as far tougher opposition await in the form of reining champions Western Province.

[...]
Cloete, Majola fit again
In a pretty bizarre case of the wheel turning, Sean Everitt has been able to include four specialist open-side flanks in his Sharks under 21 squad to face Western Province this weekend – whereas just a few weeks back he had none whatsoever and was forced to send an SOS to out-of-favour Bulls player Murray Bondesio. [...]
Under 21s fail to capitalise
In what turned out to be an unmitigated dies horribilis at Coca Cola Park for the Sharks, Sean Everitt’s under 21 side suffered an agonising 31-32 loss against the Lions, to join both the under 19 and Currie Cup side in defeat. [...]
