Bloody awful weekend
3 Jul 17 10:13 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 110 Comments

Massive quarter-final challenge
30 Jun 17 12:34 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 5 Comments
The rugby gods giveth and those same gods taketh away and Sharks XV coach Paul Anthony will certainly feel that he’s being made to pay a heavy price for last week’s bounty. Gone are any vestiges of Super Rugby experience from the team named to face the Blue Bulls in Sunday’s SuperSport Challenge quarterfinal and with injury further adding to selection woes, Anthony has been forced to name a very inexperienced side indeed. […]

Sharks XV to take no chances
22 Jun 17 10:25 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 37 Comments
It seems the Sharks are bored of the international break already and will take advantage of any opportunity to get onto the pitch. Friday afternoon’s must-win Supersport Challenge match against at Free State thus could not come at a better time. […]

Sharks XV in township action
1 Jun 17 17:49 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 102 Comments
While Super Rugby may not be happening for the Sharks this weekend, that doesn’t mean the Supersport Rugby Challenge won’t carry on and the Sharks XV return to the Sugar Ray Xulu stadium in Clermont township on Saturday for a clash against the Griffons. […]
Going to watch rugby the Middle Earth way: Version 2.0
31 May 17 09:53 by Jan Dyman (JD) | 27 Comments
Ok so it took a bit longer than planned to get started with this one but hey rather late than never:
As it’s been a while since I ventured to Welkom to go and watch a game at the Noord-Wes stadium (or HT Pelatona stadium as it’s known now) I phoned the Griffons Rugby Union to enquire about ticket prices and availability. I was told that entrance is free and you can sit where you find a seat. As to the do’s and don’ts of what can be taken into the stadium the very friendly lady replied: “you can do what you want, not really but do what you want”. Not one to disappoint people, that’s exactly what I did. […]
