The 8 / 9 Combo

WE ARE BACK - and with a new look! 💪🏼 After one of us lost our login details awhile ago (you can guess who), we decided to change things up! Stay tuned for all things rugby related. Just in time for the Lions Series too! 😅 #NewProfilePic #GoBokke

@jaredwright17 Traditional gear for the Sharks is 🔥

Always prefer these kits 🤤

@Jurgendorfling1 @SkyTshabalala @itsmikevee 🤣🤣🤣🤣 fair point

@SkyTshabalala @itsmikevee All you need to do is ask frans steyn what side he will be on then you will no who the winner will be

Just had a fiery debate with @itsmikevee regarding 2007 & 2019 Springboks RWC winning teams. He says 2019 Boks would SMASH 2007 team😑😑😳😳😳 NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!!! Thoughts please?🎤🎤

@AmiJaneD @Andre_123789 @TinusvS4 @SharksRugby I’m with you on this one … maybe the inclusivity culture is attracting the best players as they feel they will be valued correctly 🤷‍♂️. Not sure how the Sharks model is a point to argue … they are creating a great culture that players want to be apart of

The @SharksRugby culture is one of inclusivity, built on the I see colour campaign. "How can you not see colour? I'm a white guy, you're a black guy. That's cool. Instead of acting like these things don't exist, let's talk about it, let's celebrate it," says CEO Eduard Coetzee.

@Da_Me_3 @sportbillysays So much energy and definitely will be one for the future - currently a walking penalty at the moment, maybe because he playing in a weak pack (the last few games I’ve seen)

@sportbillysays Can we add Nama Xaba to the conversation?

I will not rest until those talking about Evan Roos and Eldrigh Louw as Bok potentials include Pepsi Buthelezi in the conservation. A 22yr old leader of men, dynamic, pacey and hard as nails. Massive future.

@RobHouwing Sharks 100% let themselves down. Massive momentum swing taking our experienced front row off. All yellow cards and Penalty Tries were legit.

Sharks fans: did you feel hard done by from ref Marius van der Westhuizen and his co-officials on Saturday? Or were Sharks mostly own worst enemies in letting this one 'slip' to an extent?

May the privilege of what I get to do and the people I get to do it with never leave me. #grateful @SharksRugby @MarcoMasotti_ @CoetzeeSeren @dylanjahnig

Werner Kok, who donned a Blitzbok jersey for over 10 years has unfortunately had all of his jerseys stolen from a storage unit in Cape Town. If you have any information, please email info@thesharks.co.za. Let’s rally together and get these jerseys back to it’s rightful owner!

Guess who's back on our training fields 🔥 #OurSharksForever #TacklingNewShores Vodacom #URC

The Scottish National anthem at Murrayfield …. Absolutely incredible!!!!

@SquidgeRugby Haha that is poking 🤣🤣. Was it playing club rugby SA. No Union wanted him. Well done to him for making a massive turnaround in his career

Apparently Bradley Roberts chose to represent Wales rather than South Africa or Ireland because he wanted to play for a team who “might actually compete for the World Cup” in two years time.

@FrontRowGrunt The only guy that advanced from an offside position was Franco Mostert. He then realizes and retreats … to me applying the reason for the rule is to make sure those guys have no impact or bearing on the outcome … in this instance not one of the guys offside did

Officials had one job ... Beggars belief actually! youtu.be/K8gnoWIiwc0

@FrontRowGrunt Couldn’t agree more!!!

Playing under instruction (perhaps because his kicking game was so good) saw him pigeon holed as a player, but when given the opportunity, Morne Steyn can get a backline away as well as the next flyhalf. Bulls have scored some superb tries with him at 10. Ask Habana!

@Johan_Jordaan72 @FrontRowGrunt Out of this squad who do you think won’t make the RWC due to Age?

@FrontRowGrunt I think it is win at all costs and maybe a missed oppertunity to blood some players and to rest others.

Salmaan Moerat the only newcomer in Nienaber’s squad ...

@DaneGalley Much better when curwin not in the match day 23

@CRFCFans Not sure those are the official pages. But point taken for sure

Here are the world's top 100 (and a bit) rugby clubs as ranked by twitter follows (as of a few minutes ago). version 2.0

@mark_keohane @WorldRugby Absolutely ridiculous how interpretations can be so different - when the point of refining the laws is to take out the grey area.

A question to all @WorldRugby referees on social media … how can interpretations & law applications be so different in two hemispheres? I don’t expect an answer

@iYusufVaid @FrontRowGrunt Very valid points

That is a superb win from the Boks! I just think we need to remember that we were one offside penalty from last week's score! Same player base. Same coaching staff. Were they as crap as many made them out to be last week?

@FrontRowGrunt Is that law being applied at the Rugby Championship? I see Curwin got blown up for this I’m the Semi-Final

So Quade took waaaayyyyyyy longer than the 60 seconds allowed to take his final pot at goal to win the game … Perhaps all broadcasters should be made to display the countdown like SS did in the CC?

@craigray11 @stefanungerer93 Great signing. All 3 are in players deserving of a step up to the URC. Good business by the Stormers

Think @stefanungerer93 is a good loan signing for the Stormers...halfbacks have been an issue for them.
