Schalk a doubtful starter? Stormers squad announced

Published 9 February 2010 | By Isigidi

Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has named a squad of 22 for Saturday’s opening Vodacom Super 14 match against the Lions in Johannesburg but he is still waiting on a full recovery from his skipper, Schalk Burger.

“Schalk has a bruised shoulder but fortunately it is not ligaments or an AC or anything like that so we are confident he will get over it and be able to lead the team against the Lions,” 

“We are expecting Schalk to be fully involved in our session tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. Obviously if there are any complications we can change the 22, but we are expecting Schalk to be fit.”

Coetzee siad that lock Adriaan Fondse, wing Nick Koster and Conrad Jantjes, was not considred as they still have a few weeks to go before full recovery from long-term injuries.

The in form Lionel Cronje and Peter Grant was picked to share the flyhalf duties, with Grant most probably the starter on this occasion. Cronje has shown brilliant form against the Sharks and Force, and this played a role in selecting the in form player over a player coming back from a long term injury.

The starting team will be named on Thursday.

Stormers squad: Joe Pietersen, Gio Aplon, Bryan Habana, Sireli Naqelevuki, Jaque Fourie, Juan de Jongh, Lionel Cronje, Peter Grant, Dewaldt Duvenage, Ricky Januarie, Francois Louw, Duane Vermeulen, Pieter Louw, Schalk Burger, Andries Bekker, Anton van Zyl, De Kock Steenkamp, JC Kritzinger, Brok Harris, Deon Fourie, Tiaan Liebenberg, Wicus Blaauw.

    “Liewe Jesus gee asb dat die Stormers Saterdag wen Amen”
    Mamma: “My kind, jy moet ook vir die ander span bid”

    Terug op sy knietjies:

    “Liewe Jesus, laat die Bulle ook punte kry – nie omdat hulle dit verdien nie, maar alleen uit genade. Amen”

    Morne Steyn was nog nooit ‘n aanvallende losskakel nie. Hy is nog altyd ‘n een-dimensionele wat niks bied buite die afstand van sy skopvoet nie. Behalwe vir die Drie-Nasies laasjaer was hy nog nooit rerig baie akkuraat deur ‘n toernooi nie. Minder as 80% is nie akkuraat nie, hy skop gewoonlik so +-74% van sy skoppe. Ek sal Hougaard bo hom verkies, hy was meer aanvallend as Morne toe hy nog 20 was… (en Hougaard skop so +- 87% van sy skoppe) Hougaard is deur Jake the Cake White opgeneuk. Morne Steyn het geen talent buite die normale nie, behalwe BMT, en ‘n groot poot. Lionel Cronje is ‘n moderne losskakel. Morne Steyn is niks anders as ‘n reincarnation van Gerald Bosch nie. Nee man hy maak die spel dood met nog ‘n doellose skop. Nie eers die grootste flop van ‘n EOYT kan jou oe laat oopgaan nie. Ag nee man.
