The Sharks have decided to keep us going through December by drip-feeding information regarding player contract renewals. It’s a pretty good way to keep the interest simmering and prevent a glut of good news all on one day, followed by nothing. […]

Radebe at fullback against Province

Young Sharks take a pounding
Caretaker Currie Cup coach Paul Anthony was brave in defeat on Friday night and managed to take a number of positives out of his side’s 48-12 defeat at the hands of the reigning champion Cheetahs in round 1. SA Rugby’s somewhat bizarre decision to overlap these opening Currie Cup rounds with the Super Rugby finals series was always going to put sides like the Sharks and Lions at a disadvantage and this indeed proved the case, to nobody’s great surprise.

Sharks XV take on Griquas
Sharks coach Rob du Preez has publicly bemoaned a lack of game time opportunities for his fringe squad members, citing the demise of the Vodacom Cup and late start of its replacement as a major challenge as he seeks to keep his player pool sharp and fit. The Sharks XV are thus playing a number of friendlies before the SuperSport Challenge kicks off, with one such match to take place this afternoon against Griquas. […]

Sharks players commit to the future
The Sharks are a team determined to recapture their glory days, but as we know, success does not happen overnight. Winning campaigns are typically built on a platform of shared values and culture and in a team sport like rugby, where strong bonds of trust between team mates are vital, it is virtually impossible to be successful and develop that culture in an environment where high player turnover forces you back to square one at the end of each season. […]
Into the Lions den for juniors
Both the Sharks under 19 and under 21 teams face impossible-seeming matches against their Lions counterparts at Ellis Park this afternoon. For both sides, it will be the final fixture in campaigns that have delivered little in terms of results. […]
Flyhalf change for struggling under 21s
With yet more injuries suffered at training this week, the Sharks under 21 side have been bolstered, at least, by the timely return to fitness of Junior Bok utility back Benhard Janse van Rensburg, who will start at flyhalf against the Cheetahs tomorrow. […]
Exciting under 21 match-up at Newlands
There’s very little doubt that Western Province had the form team at under 21 level in 2015, romping to the title by destroying Free State in the final. In fact, that Province side won 14 of the 16 games they played, with only two blots on an otherwise flawless copy book. […]
Chadwick heads to France
The Sharks confirmed late yesterday that prop Dale Chadwick has been released – pretty much with immediate effect – to join Narbonne in the French Second Division. […]
Changes as under 21s seek redemption
Let’s hope that last week’s rather unexpected loss against the EP Kings was just the wake up call that the Sharks under 21s needed. Michael Horaks’ team travel to Potchefstroom for a must-win game against the Leopards on Saturday afternoon. […]
