Not a shabby bunch of wingers to boot.
Danré Gerber, son of the great Springbok centre Danie Gerber, is off to ambitious Bayonne as a ‘medical joker’ – a replacement allowed in a Top 14 squad, in France, in the case of injury. |

The DHL Stormers team has been announced for the Cape outfit’s first Vodacom Super Rugby tour game of the 2013 season – against the Hurricanes in Palmerston North on Friday (kick-off 09:35 SA time).
The Stormers will welcome back a host of injured players including Boks Eben Etzebeth, Bryan Habana and Elton Jantjies on their overseas tour.
Allister Coetzee, the head coach of the DHL Stormers, has released an injury update after his team’s 36-34 Vodacom Super Rugby win over the Chiefs this past weekend.
It has officially been confirmed that Bryan Habana penned the deal with the French side in the last few days.
Finally, we come to the back three, the wings and fullback. The Cape has always produced a plethora of gifted wingbacks and this year it is no exception. Add to the mix the precocious talent of a young Mr Taute, and we have the making of a sublime back three.
South Africa’s Player of the Year, record-breaking Springbok wing Bryan Habana, is yet again in the sights of Toulon’s eccentric boss Mourad Boudjellal.
The Speedsters, and this is where the Bully boys have helped the Stormers out a bit.
