It’s probably safe to say that the Sharks’ decision to sign Reds lock Dave McDuling for the upcoming Currie Cup and Super Rugby seasons did not exactly meet with universal approval. In fact, a quick scan of my Twitter timeline revealed something approaching howls of derision from many quarters. “Why do the Sharks always sign foreign players instead of local ones?” seemed to be the main point of contention.

The former Sharks and SA u20 player Allan Dell has moved to Scotland. Born in a family of backs, Allan turned out a prop. However, strong similarities can be seen between him and Beast, as they both have exceptional abilities in the loose and the tight and can adapt to the physical side of the game while at home with ball in hand.
Leandri Diedericks and Benedict Chanakira caught up with the aspiring Scotland international player. […]

Tim Swiel will start at flyhalf for the Cell C Sharks when they face the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein this weekend. It was widely reported that Pat Lambie may have recovered from a bicep injury in time to be considered for this match, but it appears the Bok pivot will require at least an additional week out. […]

White, whose team’s tenuous hold on top spot on the overall standings looks unlikely to last the weekend, needs to pick a strategy ahead of the last two round robin games against the Cheetahs and the Stormers.
