at who this player might be.....
a) He brings stability to the back three.
B) Is great under the high ball.
C) Kicking out of hand is good if not great
d) Solid in defence
e) Place kicking percentage is in the 80's plus
F) Decision making is great
g) Skillful,has good hands and quick
h) Punches above his weight and gutsy
i) has more skill and craft under his toenails than the hapless Kirchner has in his whole being
J) will never make the Bok side because of his size.....shame!
Agreed Denny - would think its not going to be long before we hear of him going to NH
It's a no brainer....the gutsy little Joe Pietersen has all the necessary skills, same can be said of the speedy Aplon but no the primitive culture of size and nothing but size rules our rugby.. Without their prescence the Stormers would not have beaten the 'canes.
Joe got handed off a number of times today as if he was not there and I have not seen a single attack launched by him with ball in hand.
He has kicked well and that's where it ends.

You are reffering to Joe Pietersen with those attributes? Le Roux would be more suitable for the boks at fullback, Stormers are highly reliant on Joe Pietersen's goal kicking, nothing more than that. No match with Le Roux or Aplon.
