With Cobus Reinach’s elevation to the Springbok squad coupled with Charl McLeod’s decision to pursue his career in France, the Sharks find themselves needing to try out some new options at scrumhalf during this year’s Currie Cup. Injuries to a few players, though, look to be further muddying the picture. […]

With the curtain coming down on the 2014 Super Rugby season, it is unfortunately time to say our fond goodbyes to a number of Sharks stalwarts, who have opted to move on to pastures new. […]

Charl speaks out ahead of big game

Cell C Sharks scrumhalf Charl McLeod will most likely play his last home game for the team this weekend, with the big Super Rugby knock-out clash against the Highlanders to see him take the Kings Park field for the last time before a move to Grenoble in France. Here are some of his thoughts ahead of the game, courtesy of the Sharks media team. […]

The great Shark clear-out

With stories filtering in over the course of the Super Rugby season, I thought it might be helpful to do a consolidated post listing all the Sharks players that we know are leaving at the end of Super Rugby – or have, in fact, already left to pursue their careers elsewhere. […]
Exhausted Sharks slip up
2 Jun 14 09:29 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 66 Comments
The Cell C Sharks’ surge towards the Vodacom Super Rugby knock-outs suffered an unfortunate setback, when an injury time drop goal from Stormers fullback Jaco Taute consigned them to an agonising 19-21 defeat at Kings Park on Saturday. […]
Sharks player ratings v Brumbies
12 May 14 09:31 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 91 Comments
It’s hard not to go overboard after a loss, isn’t it? The Sharks were pretty much always going to be up against it in this fixture and there’s a little part of me that grudgingly feels that a bonus-point loss, in a game in which we remained competitive throughout, is by no means the worst result and certainly not as bad as the result I feared we’d get. After the horror show against the Highlanders, this game, at least saw the Sharks committed and resilient on defence, even if attack was again non-existent. […]

23 Apr 14 09:15 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 15 Comments
The Cell C Sharks have told us that they’ll announce their preliminary tour squad at noon tomorrow; that’s the group of 27 names that coach Jake White would ideally like to take on tour with him, but could obviously be revised should there be any injuries during Friday night’s game against the Highlanders.

Silver linings to Sharks injury cloud
14 Apr 14 12:15 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 54 Comments
While many teams would be floored by a serious injury to their second-choice flyhalf just weeks after their first-choice had been ruled out for the year, for the Sharks, Saturday’s unfortunate injury to Fred Zeilinga open up a number of options for the coaching staff, most of which are rather enticing indeed.

24 Mar 14 10:15 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 36 Comments
This news will come as no great surprise to Sharks fans, but is concerning all the same. Patrick Lambie and Cobus Reinach will both miss a month or more of Super Rugby action after sustaining serious injuries at Loftus this past weekend. […]
