Peyper to add further breakdown challenge
After a lacklustre performance in this area against the Reds in their opener, 2017’s Super Rugby Sharks went on to build a good platform for victory in their next two games by dominating the contact points and ensuring quick ball from the breakdwon. With forwards hitting hard and accurately, it was the Sharks who won that crucial mini-battle at the tackle and the results followed. Saturday’s sloppy showing against the Kings, however, can in no small part be attributed to a big step backwards and this is something the Sharks simply have to rectify against the Cheetahs this week.

Sharks 14 – 19 Crusaders. Can we agree on that?
I’m convinced, having read the comments here and elsewhere, that two different games took place at Kings Park on Saturday evening. I quite enjoyed the one I watched, but others, who clearly saw a different game, didn’t like it quite as much. […]

What they had to say: Sharks vs Bulls, Week 10
Morning Sharks fans. What’s there to say about the weekend? We put in a good effort, but I feel some of Jaco Peyper’s calls were a tad harsh. Still, the record books will reflect yet another loss for the Sharks, bringing us to 4 from 10. Not a pretty picture. […]
Sharks lose again

Sharks at Newlands – Post Mortem
The Sharks were beaten by the Stormers. It was a hard match to watch, especially after so much of the emphasis last week was on the referees and how “THEY” lost the match. To be trampled like we were against the Stormers, after our team was boosted with Sprinbok returnees and after, in our opinions, we “technically” beat the Bulls, was painful. […]

Province deny Kings opening Currie Cup glory
Perfect weather conditions set the scene for running rugby when the EP Kings faced Western Province at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Friday night, but little did anyone expect the Kings to take a 1 point lead into the half time break. Province added three tries to their one first half try to beat the Kings 35 – 16. […]
