Situation critical
For years the Sharks have lead South African rugby, if not world rugby, in the way they market their brand and team oozing success at all levels, but it seems to me that lately they are doing their level best to destroy all this. […]
Time to end the insanity
We’ve got two separate developments going on in Durban, both of which now require strong and decisive leadership from the Sharks administration. The first involves the ongoing pettiness surrounding the transfers of Willem Alberts and Louis Ludik. […]
Hernandez denies Racing move
In a frankly indecipherable interview with ESPN’s Argentinian site, Juan Martin Hernandez has denied that he has signed anything with Racing Metro (or any other club) and insists that his only focus is recovering from back surgery and getting onto the park as soon as possible. […]
Flyhalf curse strikes Cheetahs next
Naka Drotske is just the latest South African Super 14 coach to suddenly find himself looking around desperately for a flyhalf. Griquas Pivot Naas Olivier, likely to be the Cheetahs first choice this season, will miss at least the opening game of the competition due to a knee injury. […]

Should Adi play 12 for the Sharks?
If the talk is to be believed, Adrian Jacobs is poised to take over from the departing Jean de Villiers at inside centre for the Springboks. It’s hardly surprising, given that Bok coach Peter de Villiers used Jacobs at 12 back in the duo’s Valke days, with great success. […]
Mixed news for Sharks
