Sharks sign junior giant
“Kick less”: du Preez
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
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
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
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!” […]
Gold – time for fringe players to shine
I had a great chat with Sharks Director of Rugby Gary Gold on Thursday last week. Here are some further comments from that interview. […]
Getting the numbers right
Flicking through the Durban dailies over the last day or so, the Sharks seem to be making a concerted effort at hitting back at some of the deluge of criticism that has come their way in the wake of recent results. […]
Impi Interviews – Part 3: Ryan Strudwick
