Hi, Sharks fans
Saturday 27 October, 16:00, Newlands… that is our main focus for this week. […]
Swys de Bruin has named a Super Rugby match 23 for the first time as Lions head coach and he’s certainly shown that he’s not one to shy away from bold calls. […]
The Sharks go into Saturday’s Super Rugby opener against the Lions boasting just two new faces in the starting lineup, with flyhalf Robert du Preez and winger Makezole Mapimpi uncapped for the side at this level. […]
In some good news for the Sharks, up-and-coming Kiwi referee Glen Jackson has been handed the whistle for this weekend’s Super Rugby clash against the Lions. […]
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. […]
In a story that’s busy developing (via non-official sources), it appears Sharks flyhallf Inny Radebe might just have shot himself properly in the foot. […]
The Sharks have announced that Lions hooker Armand ‘Akker’ van der Merwe has signed a two year contract and will be available for immediate Currie Cup selection. […]
Go Sharks Go! […]
Well, at least now we’ll start as underdogs, right? […]
Spicy…. I’ll just leave it at that. […]
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. […]
Marius van der Westhuizen will officiate this weekend’s Super Rugby clash between the Sharks and the Rebels at Growthpoint Kings Park. […]
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. […]
The dust has settled somewhat after Saturday’s pulsating Super Rugby derby at Ellis Park and while we, as Sharks fans, remain incredibly proud of the performance put in by our team, I’m not quite ready to put this one to bed, given some of the officiating travesties that had a significant impact on the outcome of the game. […]
The Sharks were left to rue some first-half indiscipline as they ultimately succumbed to a late Lions try to lose at Ellis Park by 29 points to 34. […]
