The following from News24:-


"The Stormers are set to start their 2018 Super Rugby campaign without the services of inspirational lock, Eben Etzebeth.


According to reports, the Springbok second-rower is set to be sidelined until at least May due to a combination of shoulder and back injuries.


In his last appearance, Etzebeth was forced off the field just before half-time in the Boks' 2017 end-of-year Test against Wales in Cardiff after he sustained a nerve injury that caused severe pain in his left shoulder.


The Stormers open their Super Rugby season on Saturday, February 17 against the Jaguares at Newlands.

Should the layoff estimates prove accurate, Etzebeth will miss at least 10 matches and will be in a race to prove his fitness for the Boks' three-Test series against England in early June."


Indeed bad news for the Stormers - but they have a live-wire alternative in Schickerling and he is going to make a name for himself in the upcoming season.

Pantyliners? What do you know about pantyliners?

I thought you were into wooly creatures that go "baaaaaaaaaaaaaa" every time they see you coming with your newly polished gumboots in one hand and a pot of lubricant in the other.

You should be reported for cruelty to animals.

Lady Itsabutt is what physicists refer to as a "WIMP" or "W eakly Interacting Massive Particle "

So considering all the dopey names you trot out for ABs players you must be terrified eh dopey ?

Hope recovers well. Guy really won me over the last two seasons. 

Some time out might do him good. 

Never fear though Bon fans. The soldier that is Mostert stands ever ready to give you 80 minutes of apocalyptic war :)
