Recent reports from the UK suggested that former Bok and World Cup winning flyhalf, Butch James has concluded a deal with the Stormers for the 2011 Super 15.

James has again suffered an injury (shoulder) shortly after he returned from a knee injury which kept him sidelined for months for his club Bath.

To add to Bath’s woes of losing the player to injury yet again they seem resigned to the fact that James will also look to return to South Africa in 2011 where he apparently struck a deal with Super 14 team the Stormers.

The Stormers currently have Willem de Waal, Lionel Cronje and Peter Grant on their books who can all fill the flyhalf role but with De Waal arguably in his last season for the Cape franchise, and questions continually asked over Grant’s ability at 10, the move might be a masterstroke from the Stormers management where experience and direction seems to be lacking in the 10/12 channel.

More on this as news becomes available.

    Well no surprise, Butch wanted to extend his contract with the Sharks before he left for Bath for 2 years only for them to say no.

    Good luck Butchie. Though think he is crazy to carry on his rugby career. More injured this days than not. Going to suffer big time before he is even 40 with those knees. Should have hung up his boots and start to live his life away from rugby. Too many injuries will no doubt have taken toll on his body.

    Anyhow good luck Butch.

    Volgende jaar as die Bulle teen Stormers/WP speel gaan ons heeltyd hoor hoe die agterlyn spelers van die Bulle sê:

    Skuus oom !

    Kan ek oom help opstaan, oom !

    Skuus oom, ek gaan verby !

    Jammer ek het oor oom se loopkring geval !

    Nee oom, ek het nie oom se brille en pille gesien nie !
