In this fascinating discussion about his memorable Sharks career, legendary lock and former captain Mark Andrews opens up on his near-decade at the Shark Tanks.

Mark recalls starting out as an amateur before the incredible transformation from Natal to the Sharks in the professional era.

Along the way Mark experienced unprecedented success in Durban, helping the Sharks win the Currie Cup twice, reaching two additional finals and also reaching the Super 12 final twice.

Then unbelievably in 2002 he was told he had nothing left to offer.  Mark discusses all of these topics candidly and shares a few funny moments along the way too in this memorable episode of Front Row Rugby.

Peter says: I love the Springboks and rugby is one of my favourite sports. Although as a sports journalist I am supposed to remain neutral, I always like to point out that before I became a professional, I was just a big fan! I hold a Masters Degree in International Journalism so at least you know I should be able to ask a good question or two!
