Super Rugby 2016 Round 1: Saturday games
What they had to say: Sharks vs Rebels, Round 16
Hi Sharks fans. What can one say after a performance like we saw on Friday night? I suppose the late withdrawals of Kankowski and Alberts played their part. It was nice to see Majola get a run, but that’s about as far as rotation this year has gone. […]
Injury clouds for Sharks
Things don’t get any easier for the Sharks, who have returned home from tour carrying a length injury list after their tour victory over the Reds last Friday. […]
Former Shark on a Rebel Conquest
Not all of them make it into the Super Rugby squad but that’s not the end. Every union in South Africa has had a Shark bolster their ranks. The majority of you will not recognise his name but in a few years you will recognise yet another young South African talent on an adventure in Australia. Determined, hard working and a special player. He is the equivalent of Jack Bauer on a rugby field! Benedict Chanakira spoke to his name sake Greg Bauer! […]

Two worries for Drotske
As if conceding a bonus-point win to the unfancied Melbourne Rebels in their first tour game wasn’t bad enough, the Cheetahs have two injury concerns ahead of their next challenge, a clash with the Reds in Brisbane this weekend. […]
Unrecognisable Rebels for Cheetahs
If you, like me, get the feeling that the Melbourne Rebels tend to start each new season virtually from scratch, then the first team announcement from (new) coach Tony McGahan, featuring no fewer than eight new faces, will do little to dispel that perception. […]
Change for the Rebels
The Melbourne Rebels have announced change ahead of the 2014 Super Rugby season, getting rid of a Wallaby and getting a new coach. […]
Brawling Rebels sent home
The Melbourne Rebels may not have showed much fight on the pitch on Saturday, where they were humiliated 64-7 by the Sharks, but rather opted to save their aggression for the team bus afterwards, as tends to be the way when Australian Super Rugby sides tour the republic. […]
Super Rugby 2013: Sharks (64) v Rebels (7) F/T
The Sharks came horribly unstuck against the Brumbies last week. […]
Sharks to turn it around
After a disappointing lose to be Brumbies on Saturday the Sharks will face the Melbourne Rebels at Kings Park this weekend. The Rebels enjoyed a bye last week after losing 23 – 13 against the Reds a week before. […]
Further injury concerns for the Sharks
In addition to Jannie du Plessis, who has been battling a knee injury, the Sharks have confirmed that lock Anton Bresler and fullback Louis Ludik are also in doubt for this weekend’s clash against the Melbourne Rebels. […]
