The Kings have named a team to face the Sharks this weekend containing five changes from the unit that went down to the Stormers in their previous fixture. Flyhalf Lionel Cronje, a man who is no stranger to Durban having played for the Sharks in Super Rugby two years ago, will spearhead the challenge and look to get one over younger rival Ben Janse van Rensburg.

Chiliboy Ralepelle will captain the Sharks for the first time in a Currie Cup game, when the side take on Eastern Province at Kings Park on Saturday. All eyes will be on the bench this week, though, with Springbok Pat Lambie set to finally make his return to the game in the second half. […]
Time to regroup

With the Sharks having picked up just a single log point from their last two games, 2016’s Currie Cup campaign has started to go alarmingly pear-shaped. Saturday’s game against the EP Kings in Durban represents a chance to pick up some much-needed points and get things moving in the right direction again, but the climb from here is a steep one, given the mounting injury toll. […]

Super team to give Sharks Currie Cup hope?
2 Aug 16 08:05 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 59 Comments
The last few years certainly haven’t been particularly successful ones for the Sharks, with one of the key themes that keeps coming back to trip them up being wholesale personnel changes from campaign to campaign. […]
Sharks XV pick up valuable win in PE
6 Jun 16 09:42 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 17 Comments
The Sharks XV relied on their big guns to pull off an important win against the plucky EP Kings in Port Elizabeth on Friday night, with some familiar names on the score sheet in a 5-try-to-2 victory. While the visiting team may have dominated matters in terms of tries scored, the reality of the game was somewhat different, with poor discipline from Khaya Majola’s team keeping EP in the hunt in a game that ended 26-34. […]

Another “loan shark” will make Nelson Mandela Bay his home when he joins the Southern Kings for the remainder of the Super Rugby season. Outside back, Wandile Mjekevu will join a number of Sharks team mates already on loan to the Southern Kings in the hope of boosting the Eastern Cape franchise. […]
Sharks end tour in style

Gary Gold’s team of hungry young upstarts showed their value to the Sharks franchise in the best way possible last night, by recording a 31-17 win over Toulouse that was every bit as convincing as the scoreline would suggest. […]
What they had to say: Sharks vs Pumas, Round 5
7 Sep 15 08:52 by Stephen Smith (StevieS) | 27 Comments
Hi Sharks fans. I can’t say it was convincing, but a win is a win. I had some friends around for the rugby on Saturday and the one guy remarked that he’d prefer we hit rock bottom and lose, just so that there will be changes to coaches, etc. Just interesting to get an independent view. […]
Preview: Sharks vs Pumas
3 Sep 15 17:58 by Pierre McLeod (pierre_mackie) | 27 Comments
The Sharks have been superior against the Pumas over the last four seasons, but the team from Nelspruit has been a thorn in the flesh of the Durban based side in the last two matches, winning both at home. […]
Reinach returns behind unchanged Sharks pack

Gary Gold has made just two injury-enforced backline changes to his team after last week’s laboured win over the EP Kings in Port Elizabeth. Bok scrumhalf Cobus Reinach will start in the number 9 jersey against the Pumas at Kings Park on Saturday. […]
Choices ahead of Lions visit
19 Aug 15 10:18 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 88 Comments
Gary Gold’s Sharks face their trickiest challenge to date, with the table-topping Golden Lions heading to Kings Park for this weekend’s third round Currie Cup clash. 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.
