It would seem there is no chance of the South African Rugby Union (Saru) making an impetuous appointment of the new Springbok coach and there are gathering reports that the governing body will go so far as to make an interim appointment until they have found the right man to take the Boks to the...

The writer has been covering Sharks and Springbok rugby for 17 years and in that time I have seldom encountered one of my journalistic colleagues getting it as grieviously wrong as the Beeld man who effectively labelled Keegan Daniel a fascist and a zenophobe.

John Plumtree and Ma’a Nonu, the Hurricane’s flying brick outhouse, are close friends but while the Sharks coach is cautioning his men that the All Blacks centre is stirring into form, he would prefer Nonu to slumber for one more week. “We always have a laugh about our battles since I moved on from coaching...

THERE was no beating about the bush from Sharks coach John Plumtree yesterday when he described the situation the Sharks are in after losing their last two matches and the huge importance of beating the Lions at Kings Park on Saturday night. He rather creatively said: “We are staring down a hole and if we... Continue Reading →
MIKE GREENAWAY This time last year, the Sharks were in Christchurch preparing for their first tour game, with just two points in the bank (from two narrow losses at home) and no flyhalf to speak of (Andy Goode joined the team later that week.
