This works out perfectly.
Cheetahs to knockoff the next two victims – Highlanders and Farce. This will give Stormers a chance to get fully healed.
The Goose and his swashbuckling sidekick – Messerschmitt Willie LeRoux would want nothing less than a full strength Stormers side to strut their stuff against.
That’s just how they roll.

Bit worried that Strauss is playing too much Rugby.
Cameron Jacobs needs to have a big game.
Love these 3 Cheetah locks. They work hard, make their tackles. Good carriers. No name brands!

Why?
To my intense disgust he will never play a Bok #1 choice.

IMMO Goosen should be plugged into the Bok side as 1st choice, but that’s just me and I am no Meyer
