Former Shark on a Rebel Conquest
21 Jul 14 11:41 by Benedict Chanakira (bchanakira2) | 5 Comments
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! […]

Young loose forward Lee Thompson is another Boys High Boy making his way up the Sharks ranks and we were lucky enough to catch up with him for a quick chat. […]

If there’s one player in the current Sharks set-up who is living proof of the fact that hard work knows no substitute when it comes to progressing in the game of rugby, it’s Anton Bresler. While a number of the players in the current under 21 side, who will play in the final of the ABSA Under 21 Competition next weekend, may have had a somewhat easier ride, having been identified and nurtured early in their careers, Bresler has had to come up the hard way and fight for every opportunity. And he’s a better player for it. […]
