The performance of the Stormers yesterday was an eye-opener - showing why they should have got decent coach after last years fiasco. It should have been clear why they lost - like in their pre-season clash against of all teams Boland.
There us not much that can be done amongst the forwards - but for a few changes. If I were their selector I would do the following:-
15 Taute - hope he is fully recovered from injury)
14 Howard - the same as Taute
13 De Villiers
12 De Allende
11 Aplon
10 Catrakillis
9 Groom
8 Vermeulen
7 Elstadt
6 Fourie
5 Rhodes
4 Carizza
3 Malherbe
2 Liebenberg
1 Kitshoff
Burger is an absolute no-no, His stats clearly shows why:-
I have only seen so many zeroes in performance by a loosie once before and that was with Alberts. His return to competitive rugby was an eye-opener. He was as useless as Matfield was in both the games he played in thus far.
I would put Scara on the bench after a week of thorough councelling and letting him write out the following a thousand times:-
"I am a forward - not a backline player - I promise not to try and play at center."
