Rinse and repeat for Ellis Park?
5 Feb 18 12:05 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 72 Comments
While there are still two weeks to go ahead of the Super Rugby opener against the Lions at Ellis Park on 17 February, Sharks coach Robert du Preez may just have found himself in a very fortunate position ahead of that game. On the back of two impressive pre-season wins, the former Bok scrumhalf could just be forgiven if his current thinking is to change absolutely nothing ahead of that first crunch clash. […]

What a fan wants, what a fan needs…

This week, the column inches are being taken up by talk of permutations (as is normal at the end of a round robin phase). The wise men who fill the back pages have branded Saturday’s crunch match between the Sharks and the Lions as somewhere between a completely dead rubber, a must-win for the home side and a must-definitely-not-win for the home side (or is that the away side?). If you think you’re confused, read on. […]

Is there cause for optimism for Sharks?

I went through a few emotions in the wake of the loss to the Lions this weekend. The first was anger at the inconsistent refereeing. Second was despair at another missed opportunity to win at Ellis Park. The game was a huge missed opportunity. Eventually I allowed that most dangerous of emotions, hope, to creep in. […]
