    Suprised to see Jacobs, Ruan i suppose we dont have a choice cause of no flyhalf and Danie, isnt he getting on a bit ?

    Hope Frans Steyn gets to play in the World Cup

    They should only contract players after the Super 14. Nothing wrong with young Lionel Cronje, that guy should be playing in green and gold before the end of the year. Was brilliant in the U/20 RWC and just seems to go from strength to strength. Hope the Stormers give him a good run at fly-half when they realize the shortcomings of their current solutions…again!
