Sharksworld chats to Jaco Pienaar (Part 1)
I caught up with new Sharks forward coach Jaco Pienaar yesterday for a bit of a chat. Jaco was appointed to the role late last year and seems to be fitting in well so far. As with all newcomers to the Sharks setup, the Sharksworld interview is becoming something of a rite of passage and I’m pleased to report that new coaches are not exempt! A big thanks, as always, to Novashni and the Sharks PR department for facilitating. […]

No Leopards…
There are a few red faces this morning, I’m sure, at the offices of mainstream media outlets that reported that the Leopards would play in the Currie Cup Premier Division this season. Jumping the gun somewhat, those publications appear to have missed the fact that a SARU President’s Council vote was needed to ratify the inclusion of the Potch-based side. […]
Kings conundrum stymieing Currie Cup planning
Don’t be fooled, friends – the list of Currie Cup fixtures doing the rounds in some places is no more than provisional at this stage, which is rather worrying considering that the first round of games kicks off in just four days’ time. […]
Patience is a virtue – or is it?
The start of Super Rugby v2016.1.0 (which, admittedly, features changes that probably a bit more unpopular than some Windows upgrades) is now less than three weeks away. The pre-season has seen the firing of the first shots in anger and I thought the readers on Sharksworld might be interested in a bit of feedback about what has been on offer so far. […]
