Hi, Sharks fans
First off, well done to the lads on a brilliant result against the Lions on Saturday. I was at the game and had my heart in my mouth for one or two moments, but the Sharks showed composure to get the win, and they will be all the better on Saturday for a hard-earned victory. […]
As I’m sure many will be aware, there’s been a bit of a media war-of-words developing over the last few days, regarding Robert du Preez’s decision to not select Bok hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle for the Currie Cup semi-final and final. […]
The Currie Cup Final will take place in Durban next weekend after the Sharks recorded a 37-27 win over the Blue Bulls in today’s semi-final. […]
A cracker awaits us in Durban today, with the table-topping Sharks hosting the fourth-placed, but red hot, Blue Bulls. […]
It’s last-chance saloon in the Currie Cup and for those teams that have not yet done enough to secure semi-final participation (everyone who’s not the Sharks, stick up your hand) the stakes could not be higher. With only Griquas now completely out of the running, all of the Pumas, Bulls, Lions, Cheetahs and Western Province have work to do in this final round of games in order to make sure of their places. Problem is, there are only three up for grabs and five teams gunning for them. […]
I’d like to take a minute to reflect on some sad news this morning. […]
It all comes down to this. […]
I’m sure I’m feeling much the same as many of you this morning, having watched in slow-motion horror as the past weekend’s Currie Cup fixtures conspired to turn out in the wort possible fashion for the Sharks. […]
The potential for a clash between a Durban Currie Cup semi-final on 7 October (unlikely as that may now seem) and the Boks’ home Rugby Championship clash against the All Blacks at the same venue a day later has prompted SA Rugby to amend the Currie Cup fixture schedule. […]
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. […]
This is what World Cup Rugby is all about. Two teams facing each other in hat can only be described as a colossal match-up. It is finally here, Semi-Final 1 is upon us and the Boks have a massive match ahead of them if they are to compete for the elusive spot in the Final. […]
The 2015 Rugby World Cup has finally reached the play-off stages and despite a hiccough here and there the eight teams predicted even before the start of the tournament are all in the quarter-finals. […]
A strong Sharks under 21 side has been named for Saturday’s semi-final against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein, with Currie Cup regular Andre Esterhuizen picked at fullback in the only real surprise. […]
Let’s put aside our doom and gloom for a bit (and forget about the woes of the senior side) as we get firmly behind the Sharks under 21 team for this weekend’s semi-final against Free State. […]
The Sharks under 21 side, after a run of four unbeaten games that managed to drag them up out of the doldrums and into the semi-finals, suffered a 22-74 defeat at the hands of the Cheetahs this weekend. There’s more to this story, however and I urge that only the brave read further. […]
