So I know it was only Griquas, but it’s been so long since a convincing win that I feel we can celebrate. It’s also pleasing to see so many backs amongst the try scorers. Well done boys!!! There isn’t much in the media, probably because it wasn’t televised, and there wasn’t anything on Twitter surprisingly. […]
Early knock-out round for Sharks, Cheetahs

With nine rounds of Currie Cup action under the belt, the knock-out permutations are becoming less complicated. A big win in Kimberley was just what the doctor ordered for the Sharks and they go into their final round encounter with something to play for, at least – a hope that seemed rather scant after three losses in a row against Western Province, the Lions and the Bulls.

While I completely understand and endorse the rotation policy that’s been adopted by the Sharks thus far in the Currie Cup, I can’t shake a nagging feeling that at least one of the problems besetting the team could be blamed directly on this approach. […]
