Give Stef a break
Stating the obvious
A lot has been said about Western Province and the blooding of their juniors, with coach Allister Coetzee quoted as saying that at least fifteen U21 players getting game time in the senior team this season so far.

99 not out for Stef
In taking the field for the Sharks against Western Province this weekend, veteran fullback Stefan Terblanche edges ever nearer the magical 100-cap mark.

Plum reads the riot act… again

Sharks capitulate, but still score 5
The Sharks managed to again disappoint the few supporters that went to Mr. Price Kings Park on Saturday afternoon, proving that any match played at home is a battle even if it is against a team that has not won a match so far this season. The Sharks won, yes, outscoring their opponents 33 – 20, but it took them a while to get going and alarm bells must now be ringing that the Sharks just cannot get themselves to bury a minnow team.
