Thanks, good to see your spelling's lekker

Scarlets 23 - 24 Connacht

That Stormers team is looking good and I like the Pack. Morabe, Theunissen and Ben is a good loose Trio.

Really like the Lock pairing. Sti sithole is a deceptively strong Scrum power and Neethling is solid. Dweba is also looking good of late.

Oom Mike do you perhaps know if Kade Wolhuter will be staying with the lions or returning to Province ?

I think that the Stormers in fact has a top clss lock pairing,

As to Wolhuter  I am not sure he will reurn to teh Stormers.   The Stormers have got Shaca nd Libbok on conrat already and I do not know what contract he has with the Lions.   However, Wolhuter should not return to the Stormers as it would be against his career interests,

If Wolhuter wants to move he sshould go tho he Bulls whose flyhalf resources other than Goosen are putrid. ,        

Ok thanks
