My sympathy in this case is with De Allende.  He would have to cover the 25 to 30% tackles routinely missed by De Jongh and have to play outside a player who does not know how to pass a ball with the virtually impossible task to protect tackle ball when De Jongh is tackled hard - being tossed around like happened in past games. .


The best thing that could happen to the Stormers is if De Jongh does an AWOL like he did in the Twickenham test in 2012.  At least that way the damage will be limited.

 I would prefer De Jongh coming on as an impact player.De Jongh will do something brilliant once in a while Mike and thats all folk remember - not the mediocre that has happened in between. Coetzee could even rather have started de Jongh on the wing.Lets see if he has learnt anything.
This Stormers side MU ST attack.

Puleeze....we have had the Clydesdale De Allende for weeks at centre. That has moved Jean to 13 where he is much less effective. Then we had de Allende in the mix, only to see him blow our remaining chance against the Chiefs. He is too slow of foot to succeed in this league....just the next Halstead in a str ing of big, bog ordinary centres. De Jongh did more in 10 minutes than any other SA centre last week. Bringing him back into the team is obvious to all who aren't mezmerized by the size myth. JJ is big for example....he is also desperately uninvolved.

Hell - but you are mixed up .   For every one good thing De Jongh does he buggered up 10 things.  He was given two chances to carry balls and he did well - but he also missed a tackle - his normal deficiency in evidence. 

And you are talking BS about De Allende - he did more for the Stormers than De Jongh would ever do.
And De Allende was ten times the center Steyn ever was this year.   He is faster than Steyn in any event.    And ten times the center De Jongh would ever be.  The De Jongh flops are forgotten easily by some dunces - but he is a general flop at center and it will be evident again on Saturday.

 De Alende was off his game for the last few games. As was v Wyk. I see no problem with the changes made to the backline. Stormers will shit bricks up front though.

Van Wyk has been a disappointment. His first few games he looked pretty good and is a great athlete. But James Lowe of the Chiefs seems to have knocked the confidence right out of him.

The day that you admit that Francois Steyn was a disappointment this year is the day i will start to take your rugby opinions seriously.  In the meantime 99% of your c omments are based on prejudice - not facts.

Michael has no proof de Jongh misses so many tackles. His stats have already been proven to be a farce. Michael should be put on ignore, a liar feeds on attention.
