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. […]
Hi, Sharks fans
First off, well done to the lads on a brilliant result against the Lions on Saturday. I was at the game and had my heart in my mouth for one or two moments, but the Sharks showed composure to get the win, and they will be all the better on Saturday for a hard-earned victory. […]
It’s been a pretty turbulent couple of days for rugby fans in the fairest Cape, I’m sure, with the news coming out on Monday that the professional arm of WP Rugby has had to apply for liquidation. […]
Giant-killing Japanese national coach Eddie Jones – slayer of Springboks and humbler of heroes – will coach the Stormers in Super Rugby from 2016. […]
DHL Western Province have made a late change to their starting lineup with Rob Du Preez being handed the number 10 jersey. […]
The Sharks want another scalp ahead of the play-offs and Western Province are firmly in their sights at Newlands this afternoon. […]
WP coach Allister Coetzee has not resisted the temptation to rest his Currie Cup stars ahead of what is essentially a meaningless context against the Sharks on Saturday. With top spot on the log already sewn up, Coetzee has picked a B-team featuring no fewer than 8 players who have yet to start at this level. […]
There must be something about the Loftus Versveld turf that makes it particularly hard on ankles – or perhaps the spirit of Achilles lives on in modern rugby players to some extent. […]
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has picked a large squad to attend this weeks’ training camp in Hermanus, an indication that even if he does have some pretty good ideas to what his final squad will look like, he certainly doesn’t intend to narrow his scope just yet. […]
The Sharks have made a few changes this week, with the elevation of Danie Mienie to the match 22 for the first time possibly the biggest. […]
The somewhat unfancied Sharks under 19 side, with few big names compared to some of their rivals, continue to defy the odds and recorded a 25-19 win over Western Province at a soaked Villagers on Saturday; their 4th away win of the campaign. […]
DHL Western Province coach Allister Coetsee today named a 26 man squad for this years Currie Cup campaign opener against the Bulls. […]
Not to be alarmist, or anything, but SuperSport’s Brenden Nel has this morning lifted the lid on a situation that has been bubbling under for a while now, unbeknownst to most. Possibly the most exciting young talent in South African rugby at the moment, lock Pieter-Steph du Toit, comes out of contract at the end of October and come 1 July this year will effectively be “up for grabs” on the market. […]
We had some awesome news yesterday, with our dear old mate Wes (or WPW) announcing an addition to the Weber clan. […]
It may originally have been billed as a near Super Rugby level clash between the Stormers and the Lions, but things being as they are, Friday nights’ match at Ellis Park will instead be little more than a friendly, pitching the Lions against a weakened and youthful Western Province outfit. […]
