Sharks XV coaches Brad Macleod-Henderson and Deon Kayser have picked what in some way resembles a shadow Currie Cup XV for tomorrow evening’s friendly against the EP Kings in Port Elizabeth. Jacques Botes captains the side from the back of the scrum, a role he may well reprise come Currie Cup time. […]
Tame end to another Vodacom Cup campaign
6 May 14 09:25 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 5 Comments
The North section underlined a major imbalance in this year’s Vodacom Cup, with all four teams from that division comfortably winning their quarter-final clashes against South section opposition over the weekend. While wins to the Pumas, Griquas and even the Blue Bulls were hardly unexpected, it was the fourth-placed Lions’ embarrassment of North section leaders the Cell C Sharks XV that raised eyebrows the most.

Turning paper into reality
18 Feb 10 05:30 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 65 Comments
The Sharks have too much class – on paper – for the Cheetahs to pose any realistic threat on Friday evening. Problem is, the game of rugby is played on grass and we’ve seen the Durban boys come nastily unstuck against their less illustrious Bloemfontein cousins far too many times for there to be any hint of complacency this time around. […]
Another Bok bashing

It was with much fear and trepidation that this brave reporter set out on the far-too-long train journey that would eventually take me to Wembley Stadium. My fears turned out to be well-founded, as the Bok midweek side suffered yet another defeat to club opposition last night. […]

Cheetahs add a little magic
15 Jul 09 09:09 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 16 Comments
The Sharks aren’t the only team looking to a so-called “magician” to dig them out of a Currie Cup hole this season. While the Durban crew will need to wait a week longer for their wizard to arrive, Cheetahs coach Naka Drotské has included his at inside centre for this weekend’s crunch game against the Lions. […]
