A disappointing second half against the Golden Lions in Johannesburg saw Sean Everitt’s Sharks XV succumb to a 23-15 loss. More worryingly, though, the side slid from pole position on the South Section log right back into fifth spot on the back of the loss, which yielded no log points. […]

There’ve been a few developments on the player front over the last week that we probably need to spend some more time discussing. Deon Carstens has confirmed that he will leave after the Super 14, but it’s yet another round of halfback developments that cause me the most concern. […]

The recent warm-up game against the Western Force was a disappointing result, although it does need to be seen in the right context as well. While some reports and comments (not on this site) have suggested that the Sharks do not have a strong enough squad to compete in the Super 14 this year and that they are undergoing a “transitional phase”, I believe that there is more than enough potential for this squad to be competitive.
