We’ve had a lovely week, full of shouting, apologies, kum-ba-ya’s and any other number of special moments, whether feel-good or otherwise. It’s time to start getting serious, though, about what’s actually going on between the four white lines. […]

Further heartbreak in Kokstad
13 Apr 15 12:52 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 13 Comments
There was no joy for Sharks fans in any competition this weekend, with the Sharks XV going down badly to Free State in Saturday’s Vodacom Cup fixture in Kokstad. […]
Mixed Monday emotions
13 Apr 15 09:57 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 78 Comments
Looking at some of the comments after Saturday’s match against the Lions, I think it’s fair to say that the Sharks support base in a house divided, with fans falling into one of two very distinct camps. […]

No fan ever sets out to be intentionally antagonistic towards his or her team – at least, that’s what I like to believe. […]
Impi Interviews – Part 3: Ryan Strudwick
10 Apr 15 11:29 by Udo Lütge (pastorshark) | 29 Comments
Ryan Strudwick started his rugby career at that famous rugby school, Wartburg Kirchdorf School (which for most of its history has produced more Springboks than Michaelhouse! ). […]
Impi Interviews – Part 2: Marcel Coetzee
10 Apr 15 09:44 by Udo Lütge (pastorshark) | 20 Comments
On Monday the UKZN Impi did their bit to lift the gloom that fell on the rugby-loving folk of the original “Currie Cup Country” when they showed passion and determination in their Varsity Shield Final against Wits. After two losses to the unbeaten Wits side earlier in the campaign, the first of which was a 56-13 hammering in Pietermaritzburg, the Impi showed a fierce determination and the continued improvement that has characterised their campaign to register a brilliant 29-24 victory.

Impi flavour for Sharks XV

Ryan Strudwick has backed key players from his Varsity shield champion UKZN Impi side for Saturday’s Vodacom cup match against Free State. Innocent Radebe, the young flyhalf who is the talk of the KZN rugby town, will wear the number 10 jersey this week. […]

9 Apr 15 14:57 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 56 Comments

It’s been a while since we had much to talk about in terms of selection, with Gary Gold by and large keeping things as steady as he’s been able to, taking injury, suspension and rest into account. […]
Big step up for Franco
9 Apr 15 08:00 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 66 Comments
It’s kind of hard to believe, given that he started the season as reserve for the Vodacom Cup side, but former Baby Bok hooker Franco Marais finds himself making a first start for the Sharks at Super Rugby level against the Lions on Saturday. […]
Goodbye Angry Tuesday
8 Apr 15 15:49 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 65 Comments
I think it was Isaac Newton who first postulated that every action has an equal but opposite reaction; I guess in that light it’s only to be expected that a worse-than-usual Sharks performance over the weekend has prompted a rather savage and long-running backlash from the fans. […]
