Best of luck to Sharks scrumhalf Stefan Ungerer, who has been sent to play for the Kings on loan until the end of the Super Rugby season.
It’s not been a happy start to the year for the 23-year-old Maritzburg College old boy, a surprising omission from the Sharks Super Rugby squad after playing a big role during Currie Cup last year. Let’s hope that this move to the Bay can offer a new lease of life to the player, who is phenomenally talented and a real match-winner when on song.
All the best, Stefan! We hope it works out well for you.

Seemed to have done Am a world of good. Good luck Stefan!
Ungerer was/is ,[at 23you can’t say was],ahuge talent.He has not been himself since injuring himself in his crowning moment of glory,when Bieber kicked the ball into his hands on the try line.He pulled something as he collected that ball staggered over the try line and his career went down hill from there.
Pity we are admitting that we can’t rehabilitate him into the side, because that erratic Reinarch ,needs to move on the sooner the better,and Michael Claassens is now one season beyond it.
@The hound (Comment 2) : has Gouws and that Namibian jumped ahead of Venter aswell?
@The hound (Comment 2) : I’ve edited your comment. Please let’s stay away from personal attacks and slurs, especially if they’re completely unfounded.
@Kabouter (Comment 3) : Have absolutely no idea, but if I have to watch another one of Reinarch;s telegraphed box kicks being effortlessly charged down I am going to start watching local soccer.
@robdylan (Comment 4) : It was used as an adjective to denote erratic behavior, not as a medical personality disorder diagnosis.
Surprised you took it literally.
@The hound (Comment 6) : I think it’s a drug that helps a lot of people with a diagnosed medical condition and we really have no right to judge or slander them. It’s not really about Reinach, it’s about all the other people that you denigrate in the process.
@robdylan (Comment 7) : It was never intended that way,my own medical history will attest to that.
@The hound (Comment 8) : well then you’re the last oke who should be stigamtising it, I’d think. Anyway, let’s move on. Go Sharks!
@The hound (Comment 2) : Ungerer has not been himself since being introduced to the Wednesday “buy one, get one free” special at Steers by Coenie Oosthuizen, methinks. At least Coenie has seemingly managed to break free from those evil, flame-grilled clutches…
@Culling Song (Comment 10) : It’s Wacky Wednesday you heathen. South Africa’s IT industry serves at the pleasure of this institution and we will not have you slander it by describing it in such a degrading manner. Yes, technically you get one free by buying one but this description betrays such a superficial understanding. Cholesterol, heartburn, extra layers of winter insulation. These are the deeper things that Steers deems fit to bestow on us mortals.
@vanmartin (Comment 11) : boy and am I insulated!!! 😈
@JD (Comment 12) : I am the envy of many a Merino sheep myself 😉
@vanmartin (Comment 11) : I thought the IT industry was supposed to run on coffee? Man, you just caused my admiration of desk jockeys to plummet…
@Culling Song (Comment 14) : Don’t be fooled. Thats purely to convince management to spring for the fancier coffee machines. We like shiny things. No, the IT industry is powered by complex carbohydates and will one day evolve to run completely off pure corn syrupy goodness and photosynthesize the warm blue glow from computer screens.
@vanmartin (Comment 15) : the best are the high caffeine and sugar combos of Energy Drinks – allows us to pretend we are some kind of athlete
@robdylan (Comment 4) : Amen
@Culling Song (Comment 14) : ah java!!! And no not the computer stuff the caffeine fix, morning jolt, high octane type!!! Giving me a reason to wake up for years now!!! 😯 😈
Good luck, Stefan. I hope this does you a world of good…
I also hop this really works out for Stefan as it will be great to have him back at the Sharks at his best.
I for one am also feeling ‘the hound’s’ pain at the overused aimless boxkicking that Reinach has defaulted to, just did not see how it has been helping us in the last couple of games
