In news just in, Ex Bulls and Lions flyhalf, Burton Francis, is set to sign for the Stormers
Francis, who is out of contract with the Lions, is reportedly going to be one of the many back-up fly halves to Peter Grant who will only be joining the Stormers after his stint in Japan. After having almost all of their 10’s injured in the 2011 Super Rugby season the Stormers now boast Peter Grant, Burton Francis, Kurt Coleman, Gary Van Aswegen, Elgar Watts and Dimetri Catrikilis as their flyhalves.
Although Francis did some good things at the Lions, he has been usurped by Elton Jantjies and Butch James. He would also not have been that pleased to hear of the signing of the Cronje brothers.
30@ grootblousmile:Thats right, I remember the old man being subbed for his son in a match, he was livid, ha ha ha
Just seen my dreadful spelling, should read allude, not elude!!!!!!
31 @ Just For Kicks:
It was the Farrels… Andy (father) and I think the son was Scott
33 @ grootblousmile:
Andy Farrell and his son Owen Farrell…. both played for Saracens
Thats it, well done, they were a strange pair, I don’t know what happened to Owen, does he still play?
GBS, I tried to post the picture, I honestly tried.
35 @ Just For Kicks:

Eishhhhh
Read yesterday’s thread about Adi again… for an explanation how!
36@ Loosehead:I’ve got some spare stamps, if you want to borrow them, bought them from the post office yesterday, so I know they’re still valid
Honestly people, I think the stormers management is just being paranoid because of past experiences…
Two or three seasons ago we had to call in that young Brumbies player for the last game.
Then, in this year, they dropped again like flies, both in te Super comp and at CC. Injuries galore.
They will probably just stick to Grant as a starter, an then maybe Van Aswegen and Catrikilis as back ups.
Sad to see Burton go, wish him luck. But with his style of play will he actually get some ball from the light 5 to kick away?
