Hi, Sharks fans
First off, well done to all of the players, coaches and administrators. That was an incredibly tense final for me, especially when we were down at half-time, after having spurned a penalty right under the poles. Safe to say we can also thank Sergeal Petersen for charging Rob Du Preez’s place-kick early as it allowed Rob a second shot and a chance to calm his nerves a bit. […]
Hi, Sharks fans
First off, well done to the lads on a brilliant result against the Lions on Saturday. I was at the game and had my heart in my mouth for one or two moments, but the Sharks showed composure to get the win, and they will be all the better on Saturday for a hard-earned victory. […]
Well, another Super Rugby campaign has come and gone and we’ll close the chapter on that without further comment. […]
I was reading an interview with John Dobson, the WP Currie Cup coach, and he mentioned that they may use the Kings and Cheetahs to give their fringe players game time in the Pro14 as there are only six games in the league stage of this year’s Currie Cup for each team. […]
Odwa Ndungane starts for the Sharks at left wing in the only change Robert du Preez has made to the Sharks run-on side for Saturday’s Currie Cup Final. […]
Scarcely believable, isn’t it, after the doom and gloom of the last few years (and missing out altogether on Currie Cup semi-finals in 2015 and 2016)… but the 2017 Currie Cup final will take place at Kings Park this Saturday, kicking off at 16:00. […]
It’s last-chance saloon in the Currie Cup and for those teams that have not yet done enough to secure semi-final participation (everyone who’s not the Sharks, stick up your hand) the stakes could not be higher. With only Griquas now completely out of the running, all of the Pumas, Bulls, Lions, Cheetahs and Western Province have work to do in this final round of games in order to make sure of their places. Problem is, there are only three up for grabs and five teams gunning for them. […]
It’s easy to get so lost in the details – the day to day goings on, team releases, match reports, injury assessments and he-said-she-said – that you forget to look at the big picture. Given that the Sharks have a well-deserved bye week coming up, let’s just take a minute or two to reflect on the Currie Cup campaign so far. […]
The Sharks made better use of the rainy conditions at Kings Park last night to comprehensively defeat the visiting Golden Lions 24-10, a late, long range try to the visitors providing some rather undeserved scoreline flattery. […]
The Sharks are looking at a 6-game winning streak, but will need to maintain concentration and discipline today if they’re to put a young Cheetahs team to the sword. […]
Club winger Tythan Adams will make his Currie Cup debut for the Sharks this weekend against the Cheetahs. […]
Curwin Bosch, having been left out of the Springbok touring squad yesterday, will also not feature for the Sharks this weekend. […]
The Sharks head to Newlands on the back of a four match winning streak and a bye week to face a resurgent Western Province team in a battle sure to be entertaining. […]
Five players have been released from the Springbok training squad to play Currie Cup this weekend. […]
