Sharks eye tough fortnight
4 Sep 17 13:07 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 11 Comments
Rob du Preez declared himself happy enough after his charges recorded a 45-15 bonus-point win over a weak Cheetahs team at Kings Park on Saturday, but is immediately refocusing his charges’ attention on a a tough away game against the Pumas on Friday. […]
Good start for Boks against Pumas
21 Aug 17 09:28 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 4 Comments
The Springboks got their 2017 Rugby Championship campaign off to a winning start, beating Argentina 37-15 in Port Elizabeth this weekend. A bonus point was certainly on offer and should have been in the bag but for some silly errors by the home side. […]

19 Aug 17 13:00 by Richard Ferguson (Richard Ferguson) | 28 Comments
The Springboks kick off their 2017 Rugby Championship campaign with a home fixture against Argentina. A decent way to get the ball rolling or a potential banana peel? We shall soon find out. […]

Bounce back and hit them HARD
24 Jul 17 11:34 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 113 Comments
I went on a bit of a rant on Twitter this weekend, pointing out that while the Sharks clearly have big match temperament in spades, it’s the lack of “small match temperament”, a phrase I am about to copyright, that has really stymied them this year. […]

Suoth Africa “A” flyhalf Francois Brummer has been included in the Pumas team for Friday night’s Currie Cup clash against the Sharks, the first time he will represent his new province after an unsettled few years on the provincial scene. […]
No rest for the wicked

The dust is barely even half settled after Super Rugby (since it’s still actually carrying on for four of the 18 teams), but the Currie Cup Premier Division is already all but upon us. […]
Bad news for Giant and Sharks
14 Jun 16 10:34 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 28 Comments
Big lock Lubabalo “Giant” Mtyanda is going in for surgery today after sustaining what must surely be a season-ending knee injury playing for the Pumas at the weekend. […]
Cloete’s now a King….. wait, what?
19 Jan 16 10:29 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 42 Comments
So, this is the challenge you ace when reporting on “silly season” antics. Why, just yesterday I recall writing a story, based on a piece I read on Netwerk24, about how teams like the Pumas had opted against loaning out their leading players to Super Rugby franchises, lest it hamper their chances of Currie Cup Premier Division qualification. […]
Early knock-out round for Sharks, Cheetahs
5 Oct 15 09:07 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 28 Comments
With nine rounds of Currie Cup action under the belt, the knock-out permutations are becoming less complicated. A big win in Kimberley was just what the doctor ordered for the Sharks and they go into their final round encounter with something to play for, at least – a hope that seemed rather scant after three losses in a row against Western Province, the Lions and the Bulls. […]
Fisher calls time on Sharks
21 Sep 15 11:44 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 61 Comments
Announced late last week was that Junior Springbok three-quarter Tyler Fisher will play for the Pumas from next season. 21-year-old Fisher, a product of Westville Boys High and the Sharks age-group setup, played for South Africa at under 20 level in 2013. […]
What they had to say: Sharks vs Pumas, Round 5
7 Sep 15 08:52 by Stephen Smith (StevieS) | 27 Comments
Hi Sharks fans. I can’t say it was convincing, but a win is a win. I had some friends around for the rugby on Saturday and the one guy remarked that he’d prefer we hit rock bottom and lose, just so that there will be changes to coaches, etc. Just interesting to get an independent view. […]
