Cape Town - Should Waratahs loose forward Jacques Potgieter's shock signing by the Sharks really be seen as a positive move by the under-siege franchise?
The Sharks on Wednesday announced they had signed the three-Test Springbok on a two-year deal. Potgieter, 29, will join the 11th-placed Sharks in early 2016 as they prepare for next year's expanded Super Rugby tournament.
Ironically, the announcement came mere hours after CEO John Smit wrote an open letter to Sharks fans, saying the union would be implementing changes to make the fans proud of their team once again.
