Oh brother, where art though?
It’s 26 November 2016 in Cardiff and a hulking blonde back-rower waits patiently aside the Millennium Stadium pitch, anxious to shed his bottle green tracksuit and grasp his opportunity to take an already stellar career to the next step. This is the moment he’s been waiting for all his young life and while the result may not have gone his way, those few minutes on the park are something that can never be taken away – and are surely the start of a long and successful career as a test player. His name is Jean-Luc du Preez and he’s Springbok number 881. […]
Pat returns at last
Chiliboy Ralepelle will captain the Sharks for the first time in a Currie Cup game, when the side take on Eastern Province at Kings Park on Saturday. All eyes will be on the bench this week, though, with Springbok Pat Lambie set to finally make his return to the game in the second half. […]

Deysel leads Sharks to Mauritius

So long and thanks for all the rehab?
If this morning’s reports are to be believed (and I’m afraid there’s little reason not to), it seems Jacques Potgieter is set to “do a Mapoe” on the Sharks and leave Durban without ever pulling on the black and white jersey. […]
