In other news: I see that, after Joburg was once again given the All Black Test match for 2015, SARU has decided to give the rest of the country a chance again from 2016…with Cape Town and Durban near the front of the queue!

@pastorshark (Comment 16) : NZ game will be in Cape Town or PE.
@JD (Comment 17) : The point is that from 2016 the All Black game will go to different venues again and sometime it will be Durban’s turn! 🙂 Let’s see when that happens…
@pastorshark (Comment 18) : for the Sharks i hope it’s sooner rather than later.
Hopefully someone in here speaks French and can translate this for me
Claassens va quitter le RCT dans les prochaines semaines pour rejoindre les Sharks
Publication : 19 janvier 2015
claassens2 Toulon va perdre un demi de mêlée
Claassens va quitter le Var dans les prochaines semaines. Il semblerait que ce dernier ne soit que Joker médical de Durand qui sera bientôt rétabli
Et Midi Olympique annonce que Claassens rejoindra les Sharks de Durban en Février
Utilisé à 10 reprises cette saison, Claassens l’était moins ces dernières semaines avec l’éclosion d’Eric Escande
Bonne continuation Mickael Carreira?

Hopefully I am wrong in what I seem to understand is that Claassens is joining the Sharks? eish I hope not lol
@sharks_lover (Comment 20) : I don’t know French, but this article says it in Afrikaans: http://rugby.maroelamedia.co.za/2015/01/19/jannie-en-bismarck-nie-na-frankryk/
Right at the bottom of the article it says Claasens is coming to the Sharks. Then again, the article also shows just how uncertain news coming out of France can be…
@sharks_lover (Comment 20) : @pastorshark (Comment 21) : really don’t know how I feel about this?!?!?!?!?!
Its game time – trust the game is played in good spirit, and doesn’t become a war of attrition, the double edged sword – but nonetheless… SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKS!
@JD (Comment 22) :
Would it be the worst thing to have a steady, experienced player behind Reinach?
I’ve seen him play for Bath and still remember him from his Cheetah days and although he never stood out, he was always solid. When you have youngsters and the up and down Hofmann to back up the already up and down Reinach, that would not be the worst thing.
Let’s wait and see though.
@JD (Comment 22) : I feel we have enough scrummies, Reinach is a Bok, Ungerer for me is the future super star at 9, already a brilliant player, plus we have the other 2 or 3 for back up.
@Letgo (Comment 24) : lol for once I disagree slightly with you on this one.
It is time Ungerer gets his chance, also we saw how well the other youngsters (Wright) played in the CC
@sharks_lover (Comment 26) : I agree, in fact those two players should be ahead of MR R
@Letgo (Comment 24) : @sharks_lover (Comment 25) : @sharks_lover (Comment 26) : At this stage I don’t quite know what to think, so I think I’ll take the wait and see approach for now…
@Letgo (Comment 24) : I’m not saying he’s a bad player but at 32 he’s on his way out of rugby.
I would rather have the Sharks back the youngsters and give them game time as they could be the Sharks of 2016 to 2024. This short term solutions might only drive away some youngters that could have been a long term solution for the Sharks.
@pastorshark (Comment 28) : ja in any case if he signed for the Sharks there is nothing we can do to chance it so why worry about it now!!!
For those in the UK I see Sky is showing the game live on Sky Sports HD3. 😎
Can’t see the game on TV 2day
