Guys – I’m really sorry, but a day when the Sharks lose to the Kings in Super Rugby is, for me, a day when the world stops making sense. […]

Positivity and confidence are great things when it comes to rugby. Positivity creates confidence and confidence creates an element of positivity. Positive rugby generally leads to positive results and in turn creates positivity amongst the fans. Positive fans have confidence in the team. […]

In Beast we trust
25 Feb 16 12:37 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 31 Comments
In naming Beast Mtawarira as his stand-in captain while Pat Lambie recovers from injury, coach Gary Gold has made a bold call, opting to back a player who is widely respected within the squad for his loyalty and commitment, despite being short on captaincy experience. […]
A tasty hors d’oeuvre, but the main course will be tougher
15 Feb 16 10:27 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 46 Comments
I’m sure we all thoroughly enjoyed the last week – after all, it’s been a while since we’ve been able to watch any Sharks rugby at all. Two wins within the space of seven days (and getting to see a number of potential future stars in action) really was a nice added bonus. […]

Why don’t we get together and call ourselves an institute?

I urge you all to have a look at this post on Beet’s excellent Schoolboy Rugby blog site. The writer was fortunate enough to attend the KZN High Schools Rugby AGM, where Union President Graham Mackenzie had some rather interesting things to say about junior rugby in the province. […]

A culture shock
3 Nov 15 10:11 by Pierre McLeod (pierre_mackie) | 51 Comments
A lot has been said about the Sharks culture or the lack there of in recent months after a dismal Super Rugby and Currie Cup season. A lot has been said about the group of players and questions asked about whether they understand the culture of Sharks Rugby. […]

The captaincy conundrum
23 Oct 15 10:55 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 85 Comments
A few eager souls have started discussing the thorny issue of captaincy for the 2016 season already, so I thought that a quiet Friday would be the perfect time to weigh in with my own opinion. Few would argue that the Sharks – particularly in Super Rugby – have battled in this area of late and it’s one where a genuine, long term solution needs to be found. […]

What’s next for the Sharks
13 Oct 15 17:09 by Pierre McLeod (pierre_mackie) | 81 Comments
Reminiscing over the last few seasons it’s hard to believe how the Sharks got “worked” after they took “the drop” off the back of a very successful 2013 Currie Cup campaign. The Sharks decided to part ways with John Plumtree, who took them to two Currie Cup titles in 2008 and 2010, and appointed former Rugby World Cup winning coach Jake White to take them into a new chapter in Sharks Rugby in 2014.

Recapturing that 2012 vibe
7 Oct 15 09:43 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 38 Comments
With the Sharks quite literally fighting for their Currie Cup lives this weekend (and every week until they are either knocked out or bring the golden cup back to Durban), the union is encouraging fans to get behind the team. […]
Gold’s time to shine
17 Jun 15 09:44 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 107 Comments
Let’s revisit a topic first raised during the early days of this year’s Super Rugby campaign, when the first signs of a less-than-stellar season started to emerge. I asked (via a cake-baking analogy that admittedly fell rather flat) just what effect the constant changing of coaches must be having on the Sharks squad and put forward the hypothesis that it was this change in itself that was mostly to blame for the drop in performance, rather than anything to do with the skill levels of the particular individuals.
