Sums up sifplay pretty well. Are we sure he's not CaveDweller? Or rugby-writer?

No, we are are sure.

Meyer Bosman to move to Stade Français.

Article here:

Not a big loss for the banana boys considering they have Steyn, Jordaan and Whitehead to call on but the sum of all these guys leaving is getting alarming to me. Particularly in light of the host of SAns jogging out for France recently and playing in Ireland as 'project' players; not just the has-beens pushing off for a pension fund any more.

No, we are are sure.

Can we add this as a grammatical error??

French clubs buying up everything. Who's next the Sharkettes

Stop trying to be a smartass. You're just an ass.

Are four players in positions of strength for S.A. really such a worry?

Look at the Super Rugby tournament. Couple of injuries and the Sharks and Stormers struggle. Depth not as big as the Bulls who got the talent stocked up there in the north. In fact the Blue Bulls u/20 team is playing France in the JWC.

Bulls have always been prevalent in the U20. Whether it is selection bias or skill is up for debate.

Em no lol. They went and sign almost the complete u/20 JWC team of last year. Then they used half of them to beat up amateurs. So they are the best and deserves to be there. And the plus side is that they got to play together for a while now so its a plus. They will probably sign the ones that made the squad this year as new comers as well

Ever since the release of Shrek 1, I find that to be a compliment.

So thanks man. Appreciate the sentiment.

Bosman leaving is not really an issue due to the depth we have at center (Who'd thought 2 years ago huh?) but I worry more about guys like CJ Stander leaving SA, as mentioned, is more worrying. Depth is key in tournaments like Super Rugby, but these young guns are too eager to fill their pockets if things don't go their way.

Stander has said he was told he was too small to make it with the Boks so can't really blame him fo moving away.

Read this guys, some things coming to the fore now
Very very very happy J Smit will shake things up, good for SA rugby and great for the Sharks as van Zyl was always a dick in my eyes

[Draggs]

Yeah, even now it sounds as if van Zyl was trying to cause issues with the supposed two year extension for Plum. If it wasn't for Mallett running his mouth that could have been a reality.

Sharksworld posted a possible squad based on training photos, etc that will play with the Kitties:
Props: Wiehahn Herbst, Danie Mienie, Dale Chadwick, Allan Dell
Hookers: Craig Burden, Kyle Cooper, Monde Hadebe
Locks: Jandre Marais, Peet Marais
Loose forwards: Keegan Daniel, Jean Deysel, Tera Mthembu, Jacques Botes, Brynard Stander, Francois Kleinhans
Scrumhalves: Cobus Reinach, Charl McLeod, Tian Meyer
Flyahlves: Butch James, Fred Zeilinga
Centres: Heimar Williams, Marius Joubert, Tim Whitehead
Wings: Odwa Ndungane, Sean Robinson
Fullbacks: Louis Ludik, Riaan Viljoen, Gouws Prinsloo
http://www.sharksworld.co.za/2013/06/17/strong-sharks-squad-for-lions/

Hope Tim really is back, missed him in midfield. I'd like to see something like this:
Viljoen, Ludik, Williams, Whitehead, Robinson, James, Reinach; Dell, Cooper, Herbst, Marais x2, Kleinhans, Deysel, Mtembu; Hadebe, Mienie, Stander, Daniel, Meyer, Zeilinga, Prinsloo

James over Fred for a bit of an old head, Reinach and Whitehead given 40 minutes to get back to fitness (or start Meyer and Joubert and bring them off the bench).
