With Bekker and Etzebeth injured

 The Stormers must fly Quinn Roux out as a replacement. The Stormers lost their grunt without Etzebeth and Bekker and it was a tall ask taking on a physical side like the Saders without these two. What the Stormers see in de Kock Steenkamp is beyond me - especially considering they have the impressive Roux at 1.98m and 125kg's wasted in the Vodacom Cup side.

Fly Roux out and let him partner Elstadt at lock if Etzebeth and Bekker cant play.

One has to ask why Deon Fourie was sent on as a loosie when they had Carr on the bench - very strange call. Fourie did a good job, but Carr is a quality player and surely a better bet at flank than a hooker?

Saffex, Deon Fourie did an excellent job at 6. Looked a better player to me than brussouw. He is stronger faster and not knocked off the ball as easily. If the Boks want a fetcher they could use Deon Fourie. He is also able to drive the ball up well.

Unfortunately Deon is a weak scrummager. When Liebenberg went off our scrum began to struggle.

I just hope ou alistair and co pick up on this.  Deon is far better than Kolisi.

Oh what rubbish Beeno, get a grip man - Fourie better than Brussouw - thats almost as bad as your rediculous take on Matfield. Kolisi is great and Fourie is no flanker, he is a better hooker than Liebenberg

LMAO, u guys crack me up, :P

d fourie better then brussow, i know ur just teasing saffex and a stirring a reaction, lolz, :D
brussow destroys fourie as a loose forward and t liebenberg is a way better hooker then fourie, but fourie still brings a lot of value to the stormers.

IMO m schwalger, a strauss, t liebenberg, s moore,a hore are the form hookers fo spXV at the moment.

and d pocock, a thompson, m coetzee, k daniel, f levave, s kolisi and m hooper are the form loosies.

Dave do wake up. Whenever Deon is playing hooker against a reasonable scrum opponent we struggle. I only hope Liebenburg is not injured as that would be a massive blow. Liebenberg could pla yfor the Boks this yar given his form. Far far better than chilli boy.

I do not expect too many to spot the talent Deon has at 6 so early but he is miles ahead of Carr and Kolisi and could also be better than brussouw who is hardly setting the world alight. Deon made a numbe ro fstels. As an athlete he is better. You could play him as a center! He has the pace of a Burden but is more physical and is an excellent fetcher

Dave and sasuk you need vision to see these things, be able to think out the box. If you have a tape of the game follow Deon Fourie and see what he did - he is really good. Play him 6 Alistair and well done for bring him on before Carr - you rise in my esteem!

Dave your delusions re victoria were unmasked when your claim tha he was 115 kg was demolished when victor himself said he was a mere 107 kg.  The media had built this guy so big in your mind you couldn't see him a he was. Hahahahhahahaha

As the great Bakkies Botha so famously said - victor doesn' t always play in the backline!! Case closed.

Beeno, given your take on Matfield, it is impossible to take anything you say about rugby seriously - you do realise you provide a comic element to these sites don't you?

Only a clown could inform us that Fourie at 6 could potentially be better than Brussouw - what a load of rubbish. Deon is a good player, dont get me wrong, but a 6 he is not. Kolisi has been great and is far better than Fourie, in fact they are not even worth comparing.

As for Liebenberg playing for the Boks - I reckon I have more chance of falling pregnant. Liebenberg is an average player with no brains. Chiliboy is twice the hooker, as is Fourie, Burden, Callie Visagie and Strauss.

As for Matfield telling us he weighed 107kg, what rubbish, do you really expect me to believe it was Matfield answering. As I have always said, one only needed to look at Victor to realise that there was no way he weighed 107kg, that 115kg was about spot on. Only an idiot would have to conclude that Frans Steyn weighs more than Victor, that Jean, JP and J.Fourie weigh about 5 kg's less than Victor - do you honestly believe the crap you tell us? If you do Beeno, one has to conclude that you are either pretty stupid or a great wind up merchant. So what is it? Victor 107kg, Deon better than Brussouw......bwhaaahaaaaaaa
