A day at the Park. The story of what could have been…

As usual the best laid schemes of mice and men did not become a reality as due to work commitments my friend could not go on the trip. With the “Manne Naweek” a thing of the past I decided that the family would do a quick trip to Durbs with me and my lovely wife going to watch the final! […]
Going to watch rugby the Middle Earth way: Version 2.0

Ok so it took a bit longer than planned to get started with this one but hey rather late than never:
As it’s been a while since I ventured to Welkom to go and watch a game at the Noord-Wes stadium (or HT Pelatona stadium as it’s known now) I phoned the Griffons Rugby Union to enquire about ticket prices and availability. I was told that entrance is free and you can sit where you find a seat. As to the do’s and don’ts of what can be taken into the stadium the very friendly lady replied: “you can do what you want, not really but do what you want”. Not one to disappoint people, that’s exactly what I did. […]

In all the current doom and gloom over the Sharks performances or rather lack of performances I think I may have found the perfect recipe for a Bok World Cup winning team. […]

Keeping the dream alive
3 Jul 13 08:59 by Jan Dyman (JD) | 15 Comments
In what must surely be the most frustrating season for the Sharks supporters there is now just a very slim ray of sunlight shining through what was a very dark season thus far. There is a slim chance that the Sharks might just, after all, sneak into the play-offs again. […]
Natal Sharks Rugby Culture – JD’s view
10 Jun 13 13:13 by Jan Dyman (JD) | 17 Comments
Maybe the most accurate description of the Sharks was done here on Sharksworld. In the words of @FireTheLooser: “The French are able to produce some of the most exciting rugby ever displayed on a rugby field, able to match and beat any team physically whilst displaying some seriously mind blowing interplay and handling skills. At the same time they are able to produce the most mind numbing rugby ever. That’s right guys, the Sharks are the scaled down version of the French international rugby team.” […]
