It's scary that they rely on Deon Fourie so much and that they don't have a like-for-like replacement if he can't play. Shows the man's class. That said, he is getting to the part of his career that fast going to retirement. Stormers will have to find someone in the same mold.

Bealham over Malherbe or Furlong is just laughable

I'm super chuffed to see Grant Williams in that XV. The kid is class! Really hope he gets a Bok call up. I've always maintained I'd select him ahead of Jaden.

Also to see 3 backline players in that XV is very promising. We known for the shunt our forwards consistently bring to the fore but not so much our backline players.
 
So, down to the last 4 in the URC -:

Stormers v Connacht - Saturday, 13 May 4 pm - Go Stormers!
Leinster v Munster - Saturday, 13 May 6:30 pm - Go Munster!
 
Confirmed that Brannas and Orie will miss this game then.

Eish, Orrie for me not so much of a loss. Lol @ Brannas.

The others bring more in go-forward I feel but Orie is consistently at the top or close to the top for tackles and his lineout management is superior.
 
Yeah JL was definitely not as stand out as Dan, but he is working himself back into the system again. Watch him go.

How Frans Malherbe and Deon Fourie is not up there, I don't know. Nobody better than them in their positions.

I heard he is the fastest rugby player in SA? Certainly looks plausible.

Never cared about Orie too much, but stat-wise he was very good last week. Maybe a better player than he gets credit for.
 
Boys are cranking it up now. They're not even playing knock out rugby. This is fantastic, keeping the ball alive stuff. Such freedom. It's a pleasure to watch.
 
What a ridiculous try to finish it off. And what a win. One of their best performances of the season. No ball to work with and nearly three times the amount of tackles made.

Connacht fought hard and credit to them for doing so.
 
Stormers in the final, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VIVA, STORMERS, VIVA! Connacht didn't do too badly tho, gave Stormers a few scares here and there.

Curious to see what happens between Munster v Leinster.

If Leinster wins, Stormers have to play in Dublin. If Munster wins, it'll be another final at DHL Stadium innie Kaap!
