Many of us have been growing concerned – if not outright alarmed – at the lack of progress in the Sharks attempts to re-sign Francois Steyn. [...]

Sharks “can’t afford Steyn”… but is this just a ruse?

The Force certainly with the Sharks
The Sharks beat a hapless Force team on Saturday night, scoring a seven try 53 – 11 victory over their Australian opposition. The full five points, along with various other results this weekend going their way, has put the Sharks right back in the play-off race, currently in sixth place, one point behind the Crusaders in fifth.

The IPL… of rugby…

I remember the first few guises of Super rugby, the Super 8, Super 10 and the Super 12. I was a youngster when it started, quite surprised that suddenly our much loved local teams were taking on these teams from overseas, littered with great All Blacks and Wallabies that I’d only seen during Springboks tours and during the 1991 and 1995 world cup.
Further clarification on 2013 Super Rugby
SARU have clarified the issue we at Sharksworld have been debating all week, regarding the inclusion of the Southern Kings in Super Rugby next week. This clarification is a re-hash of a decision made in January this year already, and the only new information available to us is a date for the confirmation meeting. [...]
Err on the side of caution this weekend
Round 12 of Super Rugby is upon us, and we have quite a few tricky games to select from, so think with your head and not your heart. The odds are higher in the closer games for a reason, so don’t get caught out. Let’s take a look at what Marshalls World of Sport have on offer for us this weekend. [...]
Kings – Yes? No? Maybe?!

The EP Kings have been promised Super Rugby from 2013 onwards, as we are all aware, but what this leaves us with is speculation as to how exactly this will happen. It’s now been a few months since this announcement/promise was made, and still we are left scratching our heads. [...]
Cheetahs make one change for Stormers
The Cheetahs have named their side to take on the Stormers at Newlands this weekend, with Heinrich Brüssouw set to lead the men from Bloemfontein from the tunnel, playing in his 50th Super Rugby game. [...]
My little wishlist
The Sharks face the Force this weekend in what should be one of the more comfortable wins of the season, seeing as the Sharks are at home and the Force are travelling in what is one of their worst seasons to date, currently propping up the Australian conference with two wins from ten matches. [...]
Blues make call on Lam
The Blues have decided to advertise for a new head coach for the 2013 season, as current coach Pat Lam’s contract expires at the end of the 2012 Super Rugby campaign. [...]
Another clean bill of health
Good news for the Sharks this week is that they’ve managed to come through last weekend’s Highlanders game without picking up any injuries, leaving John Plumtree with a pretty full squad ahead of the second of five matches identified as “must-wins” by the coach. [...]
Sharks scrape through with a D
While it’s probably fair to say that the Sharks didn’t do much to appease their long-suffering fans this weekend, Saturday’s battling win against the Highlanders has at least bought them a little breathing space and while the side can hardly be said to have passed their latest test with flying colours, we probably do need to acknowledge the progress that has been made.

The mental game
As much as you need to be physically tough to play a contact sport like rugby, you also need to be mentally tough. [...]
