Lambie cleared, Ludik misses out
A closer look at the team
Can you believe it took 12 weeks for the Sharks to name an unchanged 22? The Bulls have been naming the same 22 since Hougaard came back from his 2 or 3 week ban. Continuity in selection, although coaches in a long Super Rugby [...]
Sharks unchanged for Force
The Sharks have, for the first time this season, been able to name an unchanged side in consecutive weeks, with coach John Plumtree sticking to his team that beat the Highlanders last weekend to do duty against the Force on Saturday evening. [...]
Jordaan starts as Plum rings changes
The Sharks team to face the Highlanders at Kings Park this Saturday afternoon has been announced with a number of changes to the team that lost to the Chiefs a fortnight ago. Paul Jordaan has been selected at outside centre, a move that most here would welcome. [...]
Host of seniors for Sharks XV crunch match
The Sharks XV face the Pampas XV this weekend in Cape Town, fighting for a chance to finish second on the log and secure a home play-off game, having been boosted by returning senior players such as Odwa Ndungane, Marius Joubert, Jean Deysel and Beast Mtawarira. [...]
Sharks XV with a Beast of a team
He’s back, so if you want to hear beeeeast ringing out through the Kings Park stadium, you should go to the game early for the Vodacom Cup game between the EP Kings and the Sharks at 2.40pm. It’s quite an amazing recovery, as we didn’t expect him back for at least a few more weeks, but it looks like Mtwarira will gain some fitness from this match and hopefully be back for the Sharks after the bye.

It’s that time of the year when all sorts of awards and prizes get handed to players who have performed well in the Super Rugby tournament. Here at Sharksworld, we tend to do things a little differently, rewarding those players that performed well, performed poorly as well as rewarding them for those idiotic moments. [...]

Smit likely to start at loosehead
The Sharks recorded their first win in last year’s Super 14 – after five consecutive losses – when they moved captain John Smit to loosehead prop for their game against the Highlanders. John Plumtree looks set to repeat that switch a fair bit earlier in the season, when he names his side to face the Cheetahs. [...]

Mike Greenaway reports that Tendai “Beast” Mtawarira will continue to hold up the loosehead side of the Sharks scrum, after the Sharks managed to scupper an attempt by the Lions (backed by their deep-pocketed sponsors) to spirit away the popular prop.
SARU controls Beast?
“We have also negotiated with Beast and I’m confident he’ll also be running out for us next year,” said Reyneke on the GLRU website [...]
Beast is a Shark: Thompson
