After a particularly dry summer, the proud Republic of Loftus and its surrounding colonies are enjoying a somewhat late downpour of biblical proportions this week. Braais have to be improvised in living rooms and your neighbour’s favourite Steve Hofmeyr album can hardly be heard over the steady precipitation of canines and felines. A welcome comfort then despite the several cases of indoor braai-smoke inhalation reported to date. […]

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa

Visitors to these shores are more often than not blown away by the beauty and diversity of our great country, with safaris in South Africa, luxurious beach holidays in either the Cape or KwaZulu Natal, romantic mountain getaways in the Drakensberg and fun-filled fishing expeditions along the country’s rivers and dams just a few of the exciting pursuits on offer.

It’s a public holiday in the Republic and while rugby will always be close to front of mind for our intrepid readers, just for one day, we’re expecting it to take just a bit more of a back seat role. […]

Previously in Shark Wars: While braaiing at the final of Hotgrub Cup, Shark Lionchaser blacked out and had a vision in which he saw the future unfold for talented young Booter Tap Repus… Compelled to tell his hero what he’d been witness to, Lionchaser made his way into the Great Whites’ locker room where he and Repus had locked minds in a Boot-inspired temporal maelstrom, which revealed a shocking link between the two… Learn more now as the tale unfolds… […]

Shark Wars: May the wors be with you… (a work of pure Sharks fiction)
24 Oct 11 20:27 by Sharon van Wyk (Shaz) | 40 Comments
A LONG TIME AGO, IN A STADIUM FAR, FAR AWAY…
It started, like all good rugby matches, with a braai. But for Shark Lionchaser the act of grilling meat over open coals was more than a spot of pre-game socialising, it was a ritual over which he reverently presided, taking fastidious care over the preparation of the food he was about to share with his closest friends.

All roads leads to Loftus…
16 Jun 11 16:32 by Frans Weyers (Franshark) | 37 Comments
Ok not all roads but some 😉 During the week there was a lot of speculation of the options and permutations for this weekends games so in order to get the sharks into the playoff stage on the other side of the weekend. The fact remains that the best thing for the sharks is not to considerate of give any attention to all these things and focus only on the bulls and what must be done to win this “must win” game. I say must win but do acknowledge that all games should be must win games, but here the loser goes home. […]

SW FINALS GET TOGETHER
26 Oct 10 09:23 by (Big Fish) | 38 Comments
So ladies, gents and WP fans, the CC Final is almost upon us, the prayer beads are already getting worn, and the nervous banter is surely to begin soon.
Arise, Sharks, arise!
14 Oct 10 13:00 by Mike Rothquel (Fattmann) | 20 Comments
Fans are fickle masters, so after a very poor game we were soundly thumped by the side we were to play in the next week. Durban was like a morgue no one wanted to talk rugby. It was a bit like the Mad magazine guy who has a rain cloud over his head and he is only one being rained upon whilst everyone else is in the sun. […]
