Super Rugby 2018: Sharks v Chiefs
19 May 18 13:41 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 153 Comments
The Sharks are back at home to face the Chiefs this weekend, and we won’t know which team arrives until kick-off. What we do know is that the Chiefs are missing their All Blacks, and that should make the Sharks favourites for this clash. […]

Van der Walt in tour SOS
26 Mar 18 08:54 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 95 Comments
The Sharks took a 46-14 hammering at the hands of the Rebels on Friday morning – a first-ever loss to the men from Melbourne in Super Rugby. In a season where the performances seem to be getting worse, rather than better, the result is quite frankly an embarrassment and an insult to hard-suffering fans such as myself and all of you. […]
Mapimpi set for a break?
28 Feb 18 11:23 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 40 Comments
The Sharks will name their team for Saturday’s Super Rugby clash against the Waratahs tomorrow, but the early indications are that there could be a number of personnel changes to the team that went down narrowly in Johannesburg in week 1. Try-scoring winger Makezole Mapimpi – who has had no off-season to speak of after joining the team directly from the Cheetahs’ Pro14 campaign – is one man possibly likely to enjoy a rest this week.

Bounce back and hit them HARD

Big guns fire for Sharks XV

The Sharks XV (a Super Rugby side in all but name last week) recorded a big 52-10 win over Free State in their final SuperSport Challenge round robin match on Friday. Paul Anthony’s team clicked early and often, scoring eight tries in a victory that secured a knockout place. […]
Sharks XV to take no chances
22 Jun 17 10:25 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 37 Comments
It seems the Sharks are bored of the international break already and will take advantage of any opportunity to get onto the pitch. Friday afternoon’s must-win Supersport Challenge match against at Free State thus could not come at a better time. […]

Rob du Preez has made just one change to his starting line-up for Saturday’s clash against the Stormers, with Pat Lambie, perhaps expectedly, not returning to action this week after all. […]
