Did anybody take note of the new zealand commentator's remark that this pack looks like a Bok pack of old? Yes its the big altheltic men we need. We need men like this who are warriors with a high work rate.

We do not need showponies and flashy loafers who get credit for one run in the open.

But alas they speak in awed tones about wee victoria not understanding the elementary facts about Bok rugby - forward domination. Rassie of course understands this and so possibly does Meyer.

Meyer listen very carefully to Rassie and you will learn a lot. You have the opportunity to blow the nz away if you choose wisely this year and in the years ahead.

Those thinking size does not matter have been dealt a knockout blow. Note This stormers pack is 925 kg and will be 935 kg on schalks return. Note also that the highlanders are 920 kg. Small packs cannot stand up to this mismatch.

I do hope the more astute here are getting the picture!

Whilst you're talking about the commentators remarks....can you repeat the comments he made of micro light Joe Pieterson? ...and how about the three micro lights combining to score one of the best tries ever....that's according to your revered commentator. There is no substitute for speed....you either have it or you don't and don't go looking for it in the gym either you won't find it lurking there.

Joe has speed and brains as well as a deceptively strong presence in contact.

Denny and card would you mind applying yourself to the question at hand. That of course has nothing to do with backs but everything to do with the stormers pack. The beeno super pack. Not quite complete in that some incumbents are still extremely young and of course the Sa Player of the year Schak Burger is missing.

Please not that the superb defensive efforts of the pqck help the backs, Also please not the highlanders are not noted for the back. Also note Joe has only run with the ball in this match and not much has happened before in some 6 matches is it?

No at internatioanl level you dont find many backs under 90kg they are the exceptions to the rule. As I always say maybe one if particualrly brilliant. two begins to push it and three isa non no. De Jong is a kilo or two from the bench mark bear that in mind.

But please do apply yourselves to the question. Time to admit Beeno was spot on and understands Bok forward play traditions.

I noe ou spiesies still has little impact on the game. Vermulen if of course the man to play at 8 frothe Boks. frankly my Bok loose trio would be burger (6) Vemulen and Elsatdt. Question has become who would you add to the Stormers 8 to improve it? Bissie?

brycy when the kiwis kick the bucket playing the mighty Stormers I might get stressed as the power pack idea was mine and I could be blamed!

Count yourself very lucky the great Schalk Burger will not be playing.

Only a ref like BL can save you oaks.
