Sharksworld chats to Jaco Pienaar (Part 1)
I caught up with new Sharks forward coach Jaco Pienaar yesterday for a bit of a chat. Jaco was appointed to the role late last year and seems to be fitting in well so far. As with all newcomers to the Sharks setup, the Sharksworld interview is becoming something of a rite of passage and I’m pleased to report that new coaches are not exempt! A big thanks, as always, to Novashni and the Sharks PR department for facilitating. […]

Talking to Teich
He’s been in one of the hottest seats anywhere in SA rugby (that of Sharks CEO) for a little over two months, but Gary Teichmann has clearly already done a huge amount of work that will hopefully bear fruit for the franchise in years to come. I was incredibly fortunate to catch up with the former Bok captain for an in depth chat this week, courtesy of Novashni Chetty and the Sharks PR department. […]
Toetie, A victim of circumstance or just plain unlucky?
Most people will not agree with me, but I think Allister Coetzee is a good coach, he is one dimensional in his approach, but with the right players his approach wins games. Whether he is the right person for the Bok job is still a question, but he has certainly achieved enough to warrant his selection. […]
