We spoke yesterday about the need for the Sharks – coaches and players alike – to channel their rage into a good Currie Cup campaign and for Rob du Preez and his squad, that all starts on Saturday with a match against the Pumas. […]

Tera leads Sharks against Dolphins
15 Dec 15 10:37 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 66 Comments
We may know him as a take-no-prisoners loose forward with silky skills and a surprising turn of pace, but along with many others in the Sharks rugby squad, Tera Mtembu is also a fine cricketer. So good was he at the 11-man game, in fact, that rugby only narrowly won the race to secure his professional services after school. All-rounder Mtembu will bat at number 4 and captain the Sharks cricket team as they take on the Dolphins at Kingsmead in this evening’s Holywood Bets Showdown at the Coast festival cricket match. […]

While a surprise opening-round loss to the Pumas away is probably something that can be taken in the team’s stride, one fancies that losing home games in this rather short Currie Cup season is a big no-no when it comes to knockout round qualification. […]
Two rounds in and where do we stand?
18 Aug 15 10:49 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 72 Comments
I’ve been to-ing and fro-ing regarding the publication of player ratings articles for this Currie Cup. They’re generally well received by readers as an easily-digestible snippet of opinion as to how individuals performed in a given game, but have also proved to be unpopular in certain quarters, since it is hard to accurately represent all the nuances of a particular performance in a simple (and often arbitrary) numerical score. […]
Saluting some bold selections
6 Aug 15 10:58 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 31 Comments
I think I speak for just about everyone here when I say that the Sharks team selected for tomorrow night’s Currie Cup opener certainly has raised the excitement levels.
