Everitt maintains continuity
Sharks XV coach Sean Everitt has named a mostly unchanged side for his team’s second-round Vodacom Cup clash in Cape Town this weekend. Whilst his charges performed superbly in delivering a proper beating to Border last week, the coach is keen not to let anyone get ahead of themselves, as far tougher opposition await in the form of reining champions Western Province.

Kleinhans blow ahead of semi
Sharks under 21 coach Sean Everitt has named his side to take on Western Province in Saturday’s semi-final, a game that will serve as the curtain-raiser to the big Currie Cup clash between the Sharks and the Blue Bulls at Kings Park. Experienced loose forward Francois Kleinhans, though, will sit the match out as the result of an injury picked up against the Leopards last week. [...]
Under 21s with work to do
It wasn’t all good news at Loftus Versveld on Friday afternoon, with the second-placed Sharks under 21 side suffering an embarrassing 17-61 defeat to the Blue Bulls side that tops the competition log. [...]
Cloete, Majola fit again
In a pretty bizarre case of the wheel turning, Sean Everitt has been able to include four specialist open-side flanks in his Sharks under 21 squad to face Western Province this weekend – whereas just a few weeks back he had none whatsoever and was forced to send an SOS to out-of-favour Bulls player Murray Bondesio. [...]

Loose forward changes for Sharks under 21s

Sharks spread a little thin… for now
The Sharks have been fortunate over the past few years, in having a tough time finding spots in the starting line-up for all our loose forwards. That was again the case during the latter part of Super Rugby, where Willem Alberts was picked at lock, so as to accommodate four loosies on the park. Have things changed though? [...]
Cloete blow for under 21s

Sharks under 21′s named for friendly
While this year’s instalment of the ABSA Under 21 competition kicks off for most of the sides involved, Sean Everitt’s Sharks under 21 side won’t play their first fixture proper until next week, when they take on Free State in Durban. [...]
Sharks take the spoils in fitting farewell to Smit
With Friday night’s festival atmosphere at Kings Park dominating proceedings, John Smit’s “Barney’s Army” invitational XV battled to contain a young Sharks outfit, with John Plumtree-s Currie Cup-strength selection prevailing 47-21. On a wonderful evening where so many rugby friendships and memories were celebrated, neither the final scoreline nor (to be fair) the quality of the rugby were ever going to be of much significance.
