Verster: It’s Absolutely untrue
Cheetahs gain a lock – and a centre?
Blue Bulls lock Wilhelm Steenkamp will pull on his third jersey in just two seasons when he moves to the Cheetahs next year. The Emerging Bok, who has fallen out of favour in Pretoria in recent times, was drafted into the Sharks Super 14 squad earlier this year as emergency cover for Johann Muller and Gerhard Mostert.

Bulls face second row crisis!!!
Once there was a Bulls lock (well, actually a Griquas lock) called Victor Matfield and he was considered good enough to be picked for the Springboks. Shortly after that, another Bulls lock (actually originally from Newcastle, via the Valke) was also picked for the Boks. [...]

Fudge stays in Tshwane
Former Pretoria Boys High student Mthunzi “Fudge” Mabeta has put pen to paper with the Bulls Union, extending his current contract to the end of 2012. This follows hot on the heels of another young lock, Flip van der Merwe, opting to extend his Bulls stay up until the same point. [...]
Terblanche at centre for his centurion game
Sharks coach John Plumtree has stuck largely to the team which beat the Hurricanes. The only change to the starting lineup is a backline re-shuffle necessitated by the injury to Adi Jacobs where Stefan Terblanche moves to centre with Odwa Ndungane coming in at wing. [...]
Ludik’s poison is meat for Hargreaves
I need to correct something I wrote yesterday. Alistair Hargreaves is not replacing Wilhelm Steenkamp in the Sharks touring party. Rather, he is taking up the vacant 26th spot which was being reserved for Louis Ludik. [...]

Bulls suddenly facing bulk shortage
Was it Shakespeare who wrote something along the lines of “Neither a lender nor a borrower be”? Pretty sure that one comes from Hamlet, but we could well apply it to the Sharks and the Bulls looking ahead to this weekend’s Super 14 action. [...]
Hargreaves misses tour
Alistair Hargreaves has been cut from the Sharks tour party in favour of Wilhelm Steenkamp. The group of 25 will leave Durban this afternoon en route to Canterbury and a gruelling five-week tour of the antipodes. [...]
Goode makes sense, Steenkamp does not
Having taken a little time to get over the initial shock, I reckon it’s time to look at the Sharks most recent signings calmly and rationally. There’s been a fair bit of emotion expressed here and I think it’s safe to say that, as fans, we’re all a little stunned and confused at this point. [...]
Sharks make a Goode signing
The official Sharks website has confirmed the loan signing of England international flyhalf Andy Goode. Goode has been playing in France with CA Brive and will join the Sharks in time for the overseas tour. [...]
Bulls lose two locks in one day
In a case of sick irony, it was announced today that the Bulls have lost their stalwart lock Danie Rossouw through injury, just hours after they announced that they have agreed to loan one of their promising young locks, Wilhelm Steenkamp to the Sharks. [...]
