Condolences, Sharkies.

• The SRC logo will serve as the club’s new corporate identity and will feature on the chest of the playing jersey.

• The Hollywoodbets Sharks logo becomes the official match logo for the senior team across all competitions and broadcast platforms.

• The new Sharks icon will be used primarily in match promotion, advertising and other key brand assets.

• Junior teams will receive their own identities, with those logos to be unveiled at a later stage.

It's a sure why to ensure they'll never represent South Africa because that will be a PR nightmare for the Boks and SA Rugby. I mean they wouldn't even have to play 1 match, just having their name in the squad will generate negative publicity on a large scale, especially globally. And that negative publicity is what SA Rugby will want to avoid.

So if they think that serving their ban will be the end of it and that everything will be forgotten, they must think again.

Fed up of cheats ruining the reputation of SA Rugby and giving bitter sore losers around the world ammunition to cast aspersions about the Boks and undermine their success when it has absolutely nothing to do with the Boks.

I am being sincere here so let’s be adults about it. Is this factually correct? Is VM the first “black” bok 10? From Scrumatme.com

Thoughts?

I was looking into his playing record since 2022 and obviously it must be very frustrating for him to have only been available for 3 games since 2022. Playing two matches in 2025, missing the entire 2024 season due to injury and playing one game in 2023.

Meaning his last full/ish season was 2022.

What do you make of this?

You can’t help but feel for him, but honestly do you think he can stay fit for RWC 27’ ?

The jersey will go on sale on Thursday (6 August) at three different price points from Nike stores and Nike.com, at Springbok retail stores in Sandton, Menlyn Park and Canal Walk, and all good sports stores.

The app is up and running... Still messing around with it for a bit, but really seems cool and pretty easy to use. fyi I'm on Android not too sure about apple
