With stories filtering in over the course of the Super Rugby season, I thought it might be helpful to do a consolidated post listing all the Sharks players that we know are leaving at the end of Super Rugby – or have, in fact, already left to pursue their careers elsewhere. […]

Hewitt skippers changed Sharks XV
10 Apr 14 12:23 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 21 Comments
The Cell C Sharks XV have changed things up a fair bit for this weekend’s clash against the Tusker Simba XV from Kenya, whom they will play in Cape Town on Saturday. […]
Sharks XV’s in action again
27 Feb 14 14:38 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 59 Comments
There will be a chance to see some Sharks stars in action tonight, which should hopefully make up for the oh-so-annoying Super Rugby bye this week. Deon Kayser’s Sharks XV squad will be put through their paces as two separate teams – the Bulls Sharks and the Tiger Sharks – face off against local club opposition. […]
Samurai triumph again
13 Jan 14 10:55 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 5 Comments
The SA Sevens development squad, playing as usual in “Samurai” guise, successfully defended their NBM 7s Premier League title in George this weekend, defeating the Unlimited Titans team 33-17 in the final to cap an unbeaten showing at the tournament. A young Sharks team, lead for the last time by Roelof Kotze, failed to make an impact this year. […]
Sharks aplenty at the Riverside tonight
15 Jun 12 14:02 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 18 Comments
Sharks fans desperate to see some of their heroes in action this week would do well to get down to the Riverside Sports Centre tonight, where the top two teams in this year’s Moor Cup, Varsity College Old Boys and Jonsson College Rovers, will clash at 8pm. […]
Sharks XV up against it
11 Apr 12 08:14 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 23 Comments
Spare a thought for Sharks XV coaches Sean Everitt and Sean Erasmus this week; the pair of namesakes will want to consolidate their position towards the top of the Vodacom Cup South Section log by beating Boland this weekend; however, they’ll travel to the Cape without a clutch of first-team regulars. […]
Taking their opportunities
8 Mar 12 10:00 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 17 Comments
For a number of the lads named to play for the Sharks XV in their opener against Border on Friday, their selections are just rewards for putting in the hard yards during pre-season and forcing the coaches to show faith in them, even though they may not have been quite so fancied in the past. […]
Sharks XV probables lay down a strong marker
13 Feb 12 08:20 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 21 Comments
Sean Everitt watched on Friday afternoon as his “probables” team, playing in white, put the blue-clad “possibles” to the sword in a Vodacom Cup trial match, to the tune of 34-14. Everitt’s squad will be bolstered today by a slew of players coming down from the extended Super Rugby squad, meaning the composition of the team will probably change; that said, he will be happy with the way his charges performed over the weekend. […]
New halfbacks for Griquas
27 Jul 11 09:10 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 8 Comments
Still reeling from their big loss against the Lions, Abrie Minnie’s Griquas side have been dealt a double blow ahead of their round 3 Currie Cup encounter with the Pumas, in Nelspruit on Friday evening. […]
Jansen, Pretorius MIA for Griquas
21 Jul 11 11:15 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 11 Comments
Already weakened by the continued absence of star playmaker Sarel Pretorius, Griquas coach Abrie Minnie has been dealt a further blow ahead of his side’s round 2 Currie Cup clash against the Lions. […]
The ones that got away
14 Jul 11 07:49 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 13 Comments
The Sharks side for the Currie Cup match against the Blue Bulls will be named later today and is expected to contain somewhere in the regions of 14 players who have come through the Sharks Academy and age-group ranks. Perhaps more impressive, though, is the number of players named in other Currie Cup sides that have also attended the Academy. […]
Big step up for Rick
12 Jul 11 09:49 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 22 Comments
Former Sharks age-group scrumhalf Shannon Rick has been picked up by Griquas for the Currie Cup season and looks set to start against Western Province this weekend. Sarel Pretorius is struggling with a knee injury and is unlikely to be fit. […]
