Dave

I cannot really remeneer this guy.    I know he played well for the Under 20's in 2017 and played for the Bulls in 3 matches and then went to play for Stade Francais - so I cannot remember seeing him play.    At Stade Francois he was cught out using drugs and given a 4 year ban

He apparently is now back to play and as far as I can remember he used to play at loosie,   I see he is now on cotract to play for the Stormerss - but has nt played in any matches yet

I wonder wether it is worhtwhile to look out for him in futere at the age of 27?   ,

Good player, hard nut - enforcer type but gets very little game time Served a drug ban playing in France at the time He might be injured at the moment

Thanks  Dave - but  he was mentioned as a Stormers Player - to which team in France has he gone?

Thanks - I now know what is clear to me.  When  Stade Francais fired Meyer they fired at the same time all the SA players Meyer recruited.   Stassen went from there to Montpellier and all the other failures returned to SA. 

I think he was at Mntpellier when his drug story broke I thought there are probably two Fremch  possibly linked to Stassen - namely Stade Francais and Montpellier,

He has gone to Brive, Saffolk is correct. The article I read was wrong ! It should have said he was formally at Stade.

It is a pity that drugs destroyed a young player and there is no chance that he will ever be a useful rugby player in future,

Poor lad spent hundreds of thousands of pounds trying to over turn the ban as he was adamant he was innocent Leaving to play in France means he has very little chance of impressing enough for higher honours Why were you asking about him?
