“Kick less”: du Preez
16 Aug 16 10:24 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 40 Comments
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. […]
Smit rebuts van Zyl allegations
22 Jun 16 13:04 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 135 Comments
Kudos to Darryn Pollock of the Daily News for securing an exclusive interview with current (or is that outgoing?) Sharks Chief Executive John Smit.

Patience needed with du Toit
3 Sep 15 10:06 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 51 Comments
Thomas du Toit has been in the spotlight a fair bit so far this Currie Cup season as his tricky conversion to tight head prop plays out at senior level. With the 20-year-old behemoth, perhaps not surprisingly, struggling to adapt to the technical intricacies of the more difficult scrumming position, many have questioned the wisdom of pursuing the move in the first place.

Interview with hard man Anton Bresler
10 Aug 15 09:23 by Benedict Chanakira (bchanakira2) | 11 Comments
You could hear a little bit of a Scottish feel to his accent. A player that fits into the phrase; “started from the bottom now I’m here!” […]
