The Sharks team announcement this week has lead me to think that there is something wrong within the Sharks camp, whether it be the coach or the management staff back home, but nobody seems to be effectively communicating with each other. [...]

Where is the logic?
Sharks XV named for Boland
Sharks XV coach Sean Everitt has, as predicted, named a weakened side to face Boland on Saturday, after a huge number of young stars have been withdrawn due to Baby Bok commitments. [...]
Bitter blow for Jafta
Promising Sharks junior loose forward Siseko Jafta, who played for South Africa at under 18 level, has been forced to retire prematurely from the game as the result of a spinal condition. [...]
Sharks XV up against it
Spare a thought for Sharks XV coaches Sean Everitt and Sean Erasmus this week; the pair of namesakes will want to consolidate their position towards the top of the Vodacom Cup South Section log by beating Boland this weekend; however, they’ll travel to the Cape without a clutch of first-team regulars. [...]
Sharks XV bag full five
The Sharks XV bagged the full five points against the SWD Eagles on Friday night at Kings Park, beating them 38 – 20 and scoring six tries to two in the process. This comes after the amazing game against the Free State last weekend, in which the Sharks XV also bagged the full points on offer. [...]
Vodacom Cup 2012: Sharks XV (38) v SWD Eagles (20) F/T
Today’s match kicks off at 16h30 on KP2 and entrance is free. [...]
You don’t get more home grown than this…
Running the rule over the Sharks XV side named to play SWD at Kings Park this evening, it’s astonishing to note that 19 out of the match 22 have come through the Sharks age group structures and the Academy. [...]
Mtembu rewarded with Sharks XV captaincy
The Sharks XV side to take on SWD in round 4 of the Vodacom Cup has been named, with very few changes to the outfit that recorded a bonus point victory over Free State a week ago. [...]
These Sharks lack the killer bite
I’d like to pick up on a point that has been made by a few posters in the wake of this weekend’s results, which I feel points to something of an endemic issue in Sharks rugby at the moment. There simply doesn’t seem to be a killer instinct in our teams at the moment and it’s hurting us. [...]
Deysel to the rescue?
Rumours coming out of Durban suggest that Bok flank Jean Deysel will head to Australia today to join up with the Sharks tour group in Sydney, although there has been no official announcement to confirm this fact. [...]
Vodacom Cup 2012: Free State XV (38) v Sharks XV (51) F/T
Sean Everitt (may he finally accept my Facebook friend request!) and his Sharks XV team take on Free State in the Vodacom Cup this evening. For the second week running, the Sharks XV match is going to be televised, with the game live on SuperSport 1 at 7pm. [...]
Deysel is back!
The Sharks XV take on the Free State XV in the third round of Vodacom Cup matches on Friday night, with Jean Deysel finally getting himself back on the field of play, after some extensive rehab. The big flanker will lead the side from the 7 jersey, in the place of Francois Kleinhans, who takes a break following a suspension for stomping. [...]
Vodacom Cup 2012 – Sharks XV (15) v Western Province (17) F/T
The Sharks XV take on Western Province in a televised Vodacom Cup match this afternoon. The game is at Kings Park and serves as the curtain-raiser to the big Sharks-Reds Super Rugby clash later on. [...]
Jordaan starts for Sharks XV
The Sharks XV host Western Province on Saturday in a curtain raiser to the Super Rugby clash against the Reds, in a match that is billed as a Top of the Table clash, as the Sharks lie first and WP second after the first round of matches. [...]
First outing against familiar faces
Former Sharks stalwart Deon “Speenvark” Carstens will represent his new side, Western Province, for the first time this weekend as he’s been named at tight head prop for the Vodacom Cup side. In a somewhat ironic twist, Carstens’ blue-and-white debut will be against the team he represented with such success for so many years, the Sharks. [...]
