There aren’t enough words right now, so I’ll keep this short.
The Sharks are the 2010 Currie Cup champions after beating Western Province 30-10 in the final.
I am SO, SO proud of everyone involved in the Sharks Union and team. Well done, enjoy the massive celebrations and we will dissect this massive game – and wonderful season – in the days and weeks to come.
SHARKS FOREVER! The CUP is OURS!

Well done to all the Sharks getting a call-up and winning the cup. Well done 😛
Must say, apart from Ricky, it’s a very well chosen squad.
Bok article up.
Oh and how could I forget.
SHARKS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To the WP supporters. you guys are great. thanks for being part of the coastal nation.
Champs 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉
To quote a well known comentator “UNBELIEVABLE”!!!!!!!!
Well done my boys…I love you one and all.
@McLovin (Comment 3) : and I love you too! Unfortunately, as Scalkie said…..your team was just not good enough on the day!
Bloody brilliant Sharks . I love you guys .
@Me2 aka Mama Shark (Comment 17) : Not even close. 🙁 🙂
LIKE YOU SAID ROB… WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW WE FEEL!!! WELL DONE TO THE BOYS and congrats to WP for making the final and making it tough for us. Well done to Lambie, Mvovo and Daniel (without the s) for making the Springbok team.
And to the rest of nay sayers… you can all SUCK IT!!!!!!
We beat the Mighty BULLS team with all their boks and experience and a WP team with a backline that will but most international sides to shame. In other words, you are WELL DESERVED CURRIE CUP CHAMPS.
WELL DONE BOYS… YOU MADE US PROUD AND MOST OF ALL, YOU DESERVED IT.
Elated! There’s just something so special about a Currie Cup win.
Watched the game with three Bull’s fans who were very impressed to say the least. Great feeling.
Best moments.
Lambie-sorry bus is full,burger
Ludik-massive tackle on burger
can’t remember others right now.
Chilli pppppppffffttttt
I’m ecstatic! Well done boys!
To the WP fans: hard luck guys – and thanks for being such good sports.
Andries Strauss – you were the consumate professional and the ultimate team player. Thank you for your amazing service to the Black and White. You’ll be missed, MOTM performance tonight – you, along with Charl McLeod, allowed Pat Lambie to shine this season. Cheers Dries!
@MerckZ (Comment 25) : Agreed! Andries you’ll be sorely missed next season!
My voice is shot. Woke up this mornin with butterflies that refused to leave me. Went to my local, watched Strauss have the game of his life, Bismarck being his old self (and controlled), Mvovo making metres for the Sharks, and the rest of the team making the WP players look absolute lost. The players got up after a tackle to put in that xtra effort. Like sykes stopping the drive, but pressurising Aplon into a fumble and Lambie scoring his second. ShArks’s got talent. Absolute ….FANTASTIC
What a magnificent performance from The Sharks, possibly the best seen in Durban for many a year. The commitment from every player was outstanding and they deserve all the plaudits that will come their way, even from those who had written them off.
Thank you boys from the depth of my heart for a game that will be remembered for decades. And now, after rest and recuperation, the super 15 looks like it could be a dream about to come true.
Would like to agree with the comments about Andries Strauss. What a game he had today; those tackles were crunching and amazing. Good fortune for the rest of your career, Andries.
Well done Sharks, you deserved it!
I am done!!! Tired! Well done BOYs- told u okes its not gonna b close!!! Geeeeez sooooo proud of the boys!!
Agreed about Strauss. Thanks Andries, you certainly put your hand up this season and I for one will miss your effords, especially in defence. Good Luck with your future and thanks for all your effords on the field
@Farlington (Comment 32) : man, I’m gonna start crying all over again
Andries is ‘n yster!
@robdylan (Comment 33) : Any chance you could work your magic and get some kind words from the fans Dries’s’s’s way? He deserves it.
I have added Keegen to the squad in the rugbypedia app. I have put in brackets after his name the words “At Last”. I think I will leave it like that until I see him run onto the field and touch the ball. Well done Sharks, I am might mighty proud! This was the greatest Currie Cup year in a long time. WE DID IT!
Unbelievable performance, the severity of some of those tackles reverberated watching live i can tell you! Personally am gutted Andries is leaving, he is the perfect type of player outside of McCleod and Lambie! Don’t think I’ve seen a harder tackling centre since Pieter Muller in the Black and White. Can’t we pull a rabbit out the hat and tell Cheetahs they can keep Bosman?!
Everyone who sees me today passes the “you’re looking all happy today” And no f*??er knows why.
Anyone who commented now knows what the currie cup isand that I’M A PROUD SHARKS SUPPORTER!!!!!
Massive, awesome, bone crunching Andries Strauss.
Please stay in Natal Andries, Free State can keep Meyer Bosman, you have proved your commitment and loyalty to the Sharks time and again.
Januarie out of Bok tour.
The Sharks players have all done incredibly well, no debate on that.
But what an unbelievably good coach John Plumbtree has turned out to be for the Sharks. Top of the log 3 years in a row and winning 2 of the last 3 finals…. well done John, you are a legend.
Now just imagine how well the Boks would do with Plum at the helm.
@Morné (Comment 40) : wow And JDJ? Who they calling up to replace Januarie
@MerckZ (Comment 35) : awesome idea. I’m gonna get on it!
@Fattmann (Comment 42) :
Assessment on all injuries will be done Monday
I need to add my congrats to the Sharks-Fantastic achievement now on to the S15 IT is hard to single out one player in the team for special accolades however Dries you have really stood up and you are the main reason for our success You shut down JDV so the WP back-line could not play
You will be sorely missed and it is a true saying that only when a person leaves do you realise how valuable they are
All the best for your future career and if it doesn’t work out there I’m sure the Sharks will welcome you back with open arms
good morning everyone
what a wonderful morning it is in cape town
cape town sharks supporters club was awesome , we were around 400 people there and the atmosphere was brilliant

@sharks_lover (Comment 49) :
Do I get a free steak if I wear my Sharks jersey to lunch? 😆
Well Done!
Ct is curiously quiet this morning though . .. ❓
Oh side note:
Did anyone hear Stefan using the exact words from my motivational speech in his acceptance speech? 🙂
@Original Pierre (Comment 53) : it was a beautiful speech 🙂
Well Done Sharks on a simply awesome display of Rugby.
Deserved winners of the Currie Cup.
Province were in the match for 3 min …Just wasn’t their day I guess.
Breaking news- Stefan Terblanche is staying for another season as a player. The coaches rate him as an outside centre. I, for one, thought it would be the perfect time for him to retire but he’s never let us down and he’s a great captain. Well done Turbo- sharks legend.
@juz (Comment 56) : I think he signed a year contract 3 weeks ago.
AWESOME AWESOME GAME
AWESOME AWESOME COACH
AWESOME AWESOME TEAM
AWESOEM AWESOME AWESOME FANS:)
= CURRIE CUP CHAMPS 2010…. WELL DONE BOYS!!
To all the players leaving the Sharks at the end of 2010:
Thank you for all your talent and commitment to the game…You will be missed (Andries especially) 🙂
To the SHARKS of 2011 – may good things come your way!!! and BEST OF LUCK for the super15 (wow), vodacom cup and currie cup next year! 🙂
@Fattmann (Comment 45) : Who’s JDV? Did he evem play? 🙄
@Grey Shark (Comment 59) : I was so sure that he played hang on let me look Ah there he is he is the bloke carrying the drinks!!!!!!
Sorry I promised not to gloat but after all the flack I used to get when I lived in CT this feels fantastic
@Original Pierre (Comment 53) : That speech had the tears rolling, mate!
WELL DONE SHARKS WHAT AN AWESOME VICTORY!!!!!!!!!! Man it was awesome last night! Our boys manned up and showed just how much they they wanted to win. Well deserved. Sharks Forever!
Sharks = TEAM. Not to be anti, but what use do we have for Smit?
@goyougoodthing2 (Comment 63) : The Sharks never won n cup while he is captain…..weird,because that is why he is in the team for the captaincy isnt it
@Honey Badger (Comment 64) : Well… there is no I in team and there certainly aren’t any Pastas either…
Well done sharks, played a good game. By far the hungrier side, and much more committed. Deserved winners on the day, and played the most consistent rugby through the season
Well done Sharks!!
apparently schalk slept in lambie pjs last night!! hahahahaha 😉
@jessi (Comment 68) : lambie`s still struggling to ger Schalk`s facial make-up off his hands after that hand-off… 🙂 i`m sure Schalk will have a few shots at him during springbok practice 😉 😆
@MerckZ (Comment 35) : i almost cried when i saw the standing ovation dries received when he was substituted. and he was crying like a baby. i was thinking all the time that he was overrated, but you i will admit now, i was wrong. we will SURELY miss you! good luck at the cheetahs! i will be applauding you everytime you come back to the tank!
Thank you, thank you and once again thank you for that dear Sharks TEAM.
