We won, what now?
The Springboks beat the Wallabies at Loftus to maintain some sort of fortress status at the Pretoira stadium. Where to from here though? […]
Come on, Sharks – dispel the gloom!
Anyone remember that heady day back in May when the Sharks piled on the tries and recorded a very satisfying win against the Kings in Durban? It seems like a hell of a long time ago now, but it feels to me, at least, that we were feeling pretty good about our prospects as we headed into the extended international break. […]
“We can’t start games of rugby like that”: Gold
Trying to figure out what exactly was going through Gary Gold’s mind after Friday night’s draw at Loftus was high on the agenda of the assembled media pack. The Sharks Director of Rugby made his feelings pretty clear from the outset. “No, no – I’m not happy to come away with two points, but like everything in life, the way you choose to view it is important,” replied Gold.

Looking at the numbers
A lot has been said about Schalk Burger’s 26 carries in the game against Wales and how he was deserving of his Man-of-the-Match Award because of his tireless energy. He made 26 carries for 55m as well as chipping in with 16 tackles. This is a phenomenal effort and shows just how much “The Incredible Schalk” means to the Boks. […]
Another year and another Builders Sports Quiz…
As defending champions, we entered this year with a lot of confidence, yet slightly weary of not having our Man of the Match from 2014 Andre Bloem in our starting line-up.

Time to take action on defence
We’ve had a lovely week, full of shouting, apologies, kum-ba-ya’s and any other number of special moments, whether feel-good or otherwise. It’s time to start getting serious, though, about what’s actually going on between the four white lines. […]
Big ask for Andre
Further to my musings regarding rotation earlier today, it looks likely that at least one rotational change in the backline is very much on the cards for Loftus, and has been planned for some time. […]
Mixed feelings as season comes to an end
Well, that’s it as far as Sharks rugby is concerned for the year. […]
So many questions
Has the dust settled yet? Hell no, definitely not, but the news of Jake White’s immediate departure as Sharks Director of Rugby is now at least a few hours old and has had a chance to sink in just a little. […]
Everitt praises Pumas defence
We caught up with Cell C Sharks backline coach Sean Everitt after this weekend’s bonus point win against the Pumas at Kings Park, and put some questions to him. […]
