Sharks name Meyer at pivot

Steve Meyer returns to the scene of his last Currie Cup appearance for the Sharks, hoping to return with a far better result than the 1-point loss suffered by Dick Muir’s team when they visited Kimberley five years ago. The 26-year-old flyhalf has put the memories of that day behind him, as his career has eventually brought him back to Durban, via Perpignan in the south-west of France. […]

Skollie? Are you serious?

Firstly, well done Sharks. You guys did us proud and proved that no matter how determined or desperate the opposition are, you guys just want this thing that little bit more. It was a superb performance in Hamilton, all things considered – the sort of performance that brings a team together and provides inspiration for when the going gets tough later on. […]

The shock inclusion of Luzuko Vulindlu at right wing is the main talking point of the Sharks team named to take on the Bulls in Durban on Wednesday night. Most of the Sharks first-choice players will be in action, although John Smit will be the only front-line prop on display. […]
