The Jaguares beat the Sharks comprehensively in Argentina on Friday evening, consolidating their hold on second spot in the SA conference, and with only 6 points splitting them and the Lions, with a game in hand, things could get interesting after the International break. […]

The Sharks fought back from a nightmare first half to deliver an emphatic 47-31 victory over the Lions at Ellis Park in last night’s Currie cup clash. For the second time in a week, an act of Lions indiscipline resulted in a red card that changed the complexion of the match. […]
Interesting selections for Round 2 clash

Rob du Preez has certainly named a strong side for Saturday’s Currie Cup clash against the Pumas and potentially also revealed some of his thinking relating to the future direction of the team. Most of what’s been done makes a lot of sense to me and I applaud a number of bold decisions. […]

Sharks coach Rob du Preez has reacted to his team’s poor performance against the Rebels in Durban last week by making a raft of changes for the upcoming Buenos Aires clash against los Jaguares. Captain Tera Mtembu is among a number of casualties and will play off the bench in Argentina, with Phiip van der Walt taking over the armband. […]
Is there cause for optimism for Sharks?
5 Apr 17 09:18 by Warren Smith (war1) | 45 Comments
I went through a few emotions in the wake of the loss to the Lions this weekend. The first was anger at the inconsistent refereeing. Second was despair at another missed opportunity to win at Ellis Park. The game was a huge missed opportunity. Eventually I allowed that most dangerous of emotions, hope, to creep in. […]
Ridiculous inconsistencies leave Sharks fans fuming

The dust has settled somewhat after Saturday’s pulsating Super Rugby derby at Ellis Park and while we, as Sharks fans, remain incredibly proud of the performance put in by our team, I’m not quite ready to put this one to bed, given some of the officiating travesties that had a significant impact on the outcome of the game.

Sharks must fix own mistakes

Looking back to last week’s game against the Reds, I’m starting to agree more and more with coach Rob du Prees, whose feeling is that the Sharks were their own worst enemies for much of the game. While it’s true that the Reds played some enterprising football in the second half, it’s hard not to agree that the Sharks really have only themselves to blame for the extent to which they allowed their opponents to make so much of the play. […]

Sharks need to be clinical
23 Aug 16 12:55 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 86 Comments
The first three weeks of the Currie Cup have been very successful ones for the Sharks, but with only minnow opposition faced, they’ve not been properly tested. All that is about to change. […]

It may not have been pretty, but the Shark turned in a dominant performance in the second half at Kings Park yesterday to record a 26-10 victory over the Cheetahs and keep their chances of Super Rugby quarter-final qualification alive. […]
Sharks XV pick up valuable win in PE
6 Jun 16 09:42 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 17 Comments
The Sharks XV relied on their big guns to pull off an important win against the plucky EP Kings in Port Elizabeth on Friday night, with some familiar names on the score sheet in a 5-try-to-2 victory. While the visiting team may have dominated matters in terms of tries scored, the reality of the game was somewhat different, with poor discipline from Khaya Majola’s team keeping EP in the hunt in a game that ended 26-34. […]
So close Sharks….

The Sharks put in a gutsy and passionate display at the Yarrow Stadium in New Plymouth, but were ultimately defeated by the high-flying Chiefs by just two points in this morning’s Super Rugby clash. The Sharks won the try-scoring contest 3-2, but ended on the wrong side of a 24-22 final scoreline. […]
