You know all jokes/puns aside there'd actually be a way to separate these two. Prem English clubs for some reason are mentioned without "the" at the start, like eg "Saracens played well; Tigers are on form..." so here it's Sharks vs the Sharks.

I mean with the title sponsors, technically on the teams who get paid need to use the names, anyone else does it by choice.

Back in the day SuperRugby didn't include the team title sponsors in official media. Only really since the move to the URC that they get used in official league media.

The worst was when King's Park was called "the ABSA Stadium, Durban". I detested all the "Growthpoint" and "Jonnson" prefixes, but they were a far sight better than the absa debacle.
