Stormers Squad for Australisia away matches

The following from News24:- Stormers coach, Robbie Fleck, has named a 27-man squad for their upcoming three-match tour of Australasia. After getting their 2018 Super Rugby campaign off to a winning start with a 28-20 victory against the Jaguares at Newlands on Saturday, the Stormers fly to Sydney where they will face the Waratahs in the second round. From Sydney the squad will then travel to New Zealand for encounters with the Highlanders and Crusaders, before heading back to Cape Town. Although hooker Bongi Mbonambi will not be part of the squad due to a burst appendix, there is some good news on the injury front with lock Pieter-Steph du Toit cleared to tour after recovering from a back injury. Mbonambi's withdrawal means that hooker Dean Muir, who made his Stormers debut off the replacements bench against the Jaguares, is included in the touring squad along with the likes of loose forward Sikhumbuzo Notshe and prop Caylib Oosthuizen, who did not feature in the opening game at Newlands. Fleck said that the squad is looking forward to the tour as they look to build on what they achieved in their opening game at Newlands. "We enjoy touring as a group and feel that there were plenty of positives in our performance against the Jaguares that we can build on in the coming weeks. "The players have embraced the challenges that lie ahead of us and will be going all-out to raise our game further away from home," he said. Stormers touring squad: Nizaam Carr, Damian de Allende, Jan de Klerk, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Dewaldt Duvenage, JJ Engelbrecht, JC Janse van Rensburg, Steven Kitshoff, Siya Kolisi (captain), Dillyn Leyds, Wilco Louw, SP Marais, Dean Muir, Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Caylib Oosthuizen, Justin Phillips, Raymond Rhule, Carlu Sadie, Ramone Samuels, JD Schickerling, Seabelo Senatla, Kobus van Dyk, Chris van Zyl, EW Viljoen, George Whitehead, Cobus Wiese, Damian Willemse.

I think that Saturdays match should be a guideline as to selection of the actual trasm for Saturday:- 15 SP Marais, 14 D Lleyds, 13 EW Villjoen, 12 D De Allemde. 11 S Senatka, 10 D Willense, 9 J Phillips. 8 K van Dyk, 7 S Kolisi, 6 C Wiese, 5 Pieter-Steph du Toit, 4 JD Schickerling, 3 W Louw, 2 R Sanuels, 1 S Kitshof The scrummie and loosies were negatives on Saturday - the service of Duvenhage was poor and his kicking game atrocious, while the loosies was poor iro ball protection and recovey,

I thought Werner Kok was part of this squad? They need a creative playmaker like Kok.

He obviously is not part of the present Stormers squad - but may become so at the end of March.
