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. […]
The Sharks took another big step towards a home Currie Cup semifinal this afternoon as they handed Griquas a 22-40 defeat in Kimberley, outscoring their hosts by six tries to three in the process. […]
A golden opportunity to extend the lead at the top of the log – or a nasty banana peel fixture set to open the Currie Cup field up once more? It’s one of those two outcomes for Ruan Botha and the Sharks today – but which will it be? […]
Rob du Preez declared himself happy enough after his charges recorded a 45-15 bonus-point win over a weak Cheetahs team at Kings Park on Saturday, but is immediately refocusing his charges’ attention on a a tough away game against the Pumas on Friday. […]
There was no drama at Kings Park tonight as the Sharks went about their business, dismantling an outclassed Griquas side 41-3 in their round 3 Currie Cup clash. […]
It’s round 3 and the Sharks face Griquas in Durban in the first of a horror run that sees three games in just 8 days. […]
Rob du Preez and the other Sharks coaches will hardly have had much time to rest on their laurels after a reasonable victory over the Pumas last week. […]
A very credible 28-all draw in tough conditions against the table-topping Griquas side on Thursday afternoon saw the Sharks XV move into second spot on the SuperSport Rugby Challenge central section log. […]
It wasn’t only the Sharks Super Rugby team that put in a disappointing effort on Saturday – earlier in the day, the Sharks XV went down heavily against Griquas in the first fixture of the new SuperSport Rugby Challenge competition. […]
Sharks coach Rob du Preez has publicly bemoaned a lack of game time opportunities for his fringe squad members, citing the demise of the Vodacom Cup and late start of its replacement as a major challenge as he seeks to keep his player pool sharp and fit. The Sharks XV are thus playing a number of friendlies before the SuperSport Challenge kicks off, with one such match to take place this afternoon against Griquas. […]
The Sharks XV were made to work hard for their victory, but prevailed 47-22 over the pluck Border Bulldogs in kokstad on Saturday afternoon. […]
While it’s tempting to say that the Sharks’ final Currie Cup match – away to the Lions in Johannesburg in a fortnight – is the one that will have the most direct bearing on the Sharks’ semi-final prospects, another game this weekend could have an equally big bearing. It’s one that they won’t even play in, either! […]
While Friday’s decent win against Boland in Wellington was good news for the Sharks in itself, later results in the competition this weekend played into the Durban side’s hands too. […]
Sharks Currie Cup coach Rob du Preez seems willing to applaud the enterprise shown by his Sharks charges so far in the Currie Cup, but is certainly not one to fall into the trap of blowing smoke up anyone’s rear end. In an interview with the Mercury’s Mike Greenaway, the former Bok scrumhalf was less enthused by the performance against Griquas than many of us fans seem to be. […]
The Sharks recorded a second successive bonus point win in Currie Cup when they defeated Griquas 46-24 in Durban on Friday night. The Sharks had the bonus point sewn up before the half time break as they recaptured the impressive attacking intent shown against the Pumas in the first round. […]
