So that piece of Greek…or more accurately, German…in the title line means: “And they called for toilet paper.” It is a line from a German parody song that sings of a subject matter that is also the profanity that many Sharks supporters will be screaming out upon hearing the news that Jaco Peyper has been appointed as referee of the coastal derby between the Sharks and the Stormers this Saturday.

Akker swops out to the other Sharks too
The Sale Sharks have announced that they have signed another of our local Sharks, this time hooker Akker van der Merwe. Although this was not unexpected after the whispers that Sale was going to sign a host of South Africans from these shores, it does make this a pretty bleak day for Sharks rugby.
Sharks make it 2 out of 2 (and 10 out of 10)
The Sharks defeated the highly talked up Blues from New Zealand at (what fans are surely hoping will continue to be) their home fortress, King’s Park. They claimed a 26-7 bonus point win, ultimately prevailing in convincing fashion by 4 tries to 1.
Rob du Preez (jr) to leave the Sharks
Robert du Preez (jr) is set to leave the Sharks at the end of this Super Rugby Season.

The Sale Sharks have confirmed that du Preez will be rejoining them after the completion of the 2019 Super Rugby Tournament.
A season by numbers
Hi, Sharks fans
First off, well done to all of the players, coaches and administrators. That was an incredibly tense final for me, especially when we were down at half-time, after having spurned a penalty right under the poles. Safe to say we can also thank Sergeal Petersen for charging Rob Du Preez’s place-kick early as it allowed Rob a second shot and a chance to calm his nerves a bit. […]
Looking forward to the Final
Going the distance
Hi, Sharks fans

Make the numbers work

Super Rugby 2018: Sharks v Chiefs
The Sharks are back at home to face the Chiefs this weekend, and we won’t know which team arrives until kick-off. What we do know is that the Chiefs are missing their All Blacks, and that should make the Sharks favourites for this clash. […]

Sharks go down to Bulls yet again
Consistently inconsistent. That pretty much sums up the Sharks so far this season. A massive high followed by frustrating low losing 39 – 33 to the Bulls at Loftus. […]
