A Loftus hoodoo – or a Bulls hoodoo?
16 Mar 16 15:35 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 56 Comments
As Sharks fans, we tend to have a rosy notion about Loftus Versveld being a happy hunting ground for our team and while this may be the case in Currie Cup rugby, looking at the history between the Sharks and Bulls in Super Rugby, nothing could be further from the truth. […]
Nothing to separate Sharks, Stormers in Super Rugby
9 Mar 16 10:52 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 38 Comments
While history is not always an accurate predictor of future events, it’s often not a particularly bad one, either. With the Sharks heading to Cape Town this weekend to take on the Stormers in a match in which the Durban side will rightly be considered underdogs, historical precedent suggests the game might be rather more difficult to call. […]
Take the points and move on
30 Mar 15 09:41 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 104 Comments
Once again, on a Monday we find ourselves bemoaning an ugly win after our team failed to come up to our expectations – yet all the same managed to win against a Force team that was arguably far better than their hosts for much of the game on Saturday. […]

The Cell C Sharks will travel to Ellis Park this weekend where they will face the Xerox Golden Lions in the ABSA Currie Cup Premier Division semi final. […]
Scrum! Scrum! Scrum!

The Sharks have picked something of a behemoth pack for tomorrow’s Christchurch encounter – one that is starting to resemble mission:impossible given not only current form, but also historical results between these two teams. […]
Lead, SA!

Possibly the biggest changes to the professional game are currently afoot, with South Africa sitting in the middle of what could become a fascinating tug-of-war. […]
The game I used to love…

I have loved the game of rugby all my life. I played it right through school. I have always loved Sharks and Bok rugby and I still do but… […]
Mixed emotions after opening win
26 Feb 13 10:46 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 45 Comments
If anything, it’s probably fair to say that opinion amongst Sharks fans is somewhat polarised after Saturday’s 29-22 win over the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. […]
Barritt shines in great English win
3 Dec 12 10:11 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 21 Comments
England stunned the rugby world in Saturday in surging to a record win over the All Blacks at Twickenham. It was the English midfield, superbly marshalled by Sharks old boy Bradley Barritt, that did most of the damage, carving open the Kiwi defence three times in the second half to put the result beyond doubt. […]
Then we will fight in the shade

Back in the days before Rob created the enlightened rugby blog that is now Sharksworld, we used to hang out on another site filled with some interesting folks. Before each Springbok match, there used to be a piece written by one author in a pseudo-epic style which was used to rile up the fans for the game. There were lots of “beholds” and “hearkens” in the piece, and I rather enjoyed it. […]
So what’s up with Dale’s socks?
18 Apr 12 10:25 by André Meyer (Culling Song) | 140 Comments
Regular readers will have noted how a few off-hand comments made on this site yesterday about Dale Chadwick’s perennially-around-the-ankle socks escalated into the kind of verbal trench warfare rarely seen outside of American politics. […]
Crucial clash in store for Sharks

While the Auckland Blues lie in wait for the Sharks in the fourth game of their tour next weekend, in round 7, it’s blues of another sort that they’ll need to shake off in order to record victory in Wellington. […]

Doing the Final – Bosveld Style
31 Oct 11 11:36 by Iza Loubser (Ice) | 18 Comments
It’s been needed for a while. It has been a long year. Career wise, family wise, rugby wise and life wise. So when my husband asked me a few weeks back: “when do we have an ‘off’ weekend, we need to get away for the weekend?” I jumped with both arms and feet into the opportunity. […]
