Deysel leads Sharks to Mauritius
10 Jun 16 12:35 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 43 Comments
The Sharks have named a rather interesting squad for the World Club 10s tournament in Mauritius later this month, with a smattering of seniors players rubbing shoulders with up-and-coming youngsters. Ryan Strudwick as coach and Jean Deysel as captain will be the flag bearers. […]
Yes please! We’re heading in the right direction!

Hi everyone. I watched Friday’s game with one eye on our style of play and the other on the end result. Before I discuss that though, very well done to the guys who came in and played their hearts out. […]
So close Sharks….
29 Apr 16 11:32 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 127 Comments
The Sharks put in a gutsy and passionate display at the Yarrow Stadium in New Plymouth, but were ultimately defeated by the high-flying Chiefs by just two points in this morning’s Super Rugby clash. The Sharks won the try-scoring contest 3-2, but ended on the wrong side of a 24-22 final scoreline. […]
Fresh legs needed, Sharks?
19 Apr 16 08:00 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 76 Comments
Having gone through almost half of their allotted Super Rugby matches already with virtually the same match 23 every week, I wonder if it’s now time for the Sharks to look at some rotation, in the interests of using their rather large squad a little better in this gruelling competition. […]
Congrats to the Coopers

A big hearty Sharksworld “well done” to Kyle and Shenee Cooper, who became first-time parents this morning. […]
Spark to a flame?
18 Mar 16 11:19 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 163 Comments
Gary Gold will be looking to his fresher players – those who have been rotated into the starting team this week – to step up physically against the Bulls in the first half tonight and provide the sort of spark that can galvanise the others around them. […]
Plenty of exciting one-on-ones at Loftus tomorrow
17 Mar 16 11:18 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 42 Comments
Rugby is a team sport, of course and in order to win, every member of the match 23 needs to do their bit and work together. While individual contests between directly opposing players seldom turn out to be quite as important in match situations as you’d think they would be, it is nevertheless interesting to have a look at some of these match ups ahead of tomorrow night’s game at Loftus between the Bulls and the Sharks. […]
Six Sharks changes as Gold rotates for Bulls
16 Mar 16 10:08 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 132 Comments
Gary Gold has made six changes (one positional) to his team that recorded a narrow, but significant, 18-13 win over the Stormers at Newlands last week. Keegan Daniel will makes a welcome return to Sharks rugby off the bench in the team named to take on the Bulls at Loftus on Friday. […]
Time to freshen up?
15 Mar 16 10:00 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 31 Comments
The Sharks have focused on continuity and achieved this very well to date in Super Rugby 2016, with hardly any team changes made over the course of the first three rounds. […]
Gold satisfied with win, but hard work ahead
7 Mar 16 10:57 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 28 Comments
You can perhaps accuse Gary Gold of stating the obvious, or rather of hitting the nail on the head. The Sharks simply could not afford to lose to los Jaguares on Saturday night and the fact that they eked out a win, despite everything else, clearly pleases the Director of Rugby. […]
Sharks lineout – hardly a train smash
29 Feb 16 13:32 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 69 Comments
I’ve been back and watched the weekend’s game a number of times over now, trying to form my own views about how various aspects of the play went down. While Kings number 5 JC Astle is rightfully being given a lot of praise for running the lineouts for his side, I do think some of the talk about how well he managed to disrupt the Sharks at this phase might be a little overblown. […]
Five things to learn from Toulon fling
5 Feb 16 10:23 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 34 Comments
Obviously, tonight’s first competitive hit-out of the season will be interesting on many level and nobody really knows what to expect. With the result obviously meaningless, Gary Gold and his team will instead have a list of specific factors that they’re looking at as they seek to gauge just how ready this team is for Super Rugby later in the month.
