Stormers might not see much of Allende

Cape Town - As Damian de Allende approaches full fitness there is still uncertainty surrounding his exact role at the Stormers for the rest of this Super Rugby season. 

With just two Sevens World Series tournaments left before the Rio Olympics in August, De Allende is running out of time to prove his fitness and worth to Blitzboks coach Neil Powell.

The Paris leg of the Sevens World Series takes place on May 14 and 15 while the season-ending London leg takes place on May 21 and 22. 

Should De Allende want to be a part of the 12-man squad that travels to Brazil, then he will have to feature in at least one, and probably both, of those tournaments. 

That means that he could miss the Stormers' trip to Singapore to take on the Sunwolves on May 14 and, more significantly, the clash against the Bulls at Loftus on May 21. 

Then, of course, should De Allende make the Olympic squad he will be expected to be a part of training camps and preparation for the Games. 

With the Super Rugby group stages only ending two weeks before the Olympics begin, De Allende's inclusion in the squad for Rio would certainly have an impact on his participation for the Stormers during the business end of the season. 

i think de allende might push for a spot in sevens which is a huge loss for the stormers.
while he has zero form at the moment, hes been one of SAs best rugby players the last two years, so he will be given every opportunity to prove his worth come the Boks selection time.

coetzee might be useless, but im sure even he knows that the Boks are better off with de allende then not.

big loss for the stormers, but they might secure de allendes services yet, especially as the blitzboks have a great team as it is. de allende would give them more value, but theyre in great shape as it is.
