Well done Stormers and fans. Looks like the Bulls are the team to beat at early stages. Heyneke clearly done a good job in the short time allowed….and lots of youngsters already at the right level to be blooded in Super Rugby. Who is this chap Potgieter….he has Bok written all over him. needs a bit of tempering….but looks a shoo in for the replacement of Juan Smith….who must seriously think about retiring shortly.
151 @ 4man:
Jacques Potgieter played for the Blue Bulls in the Currie Cup already in 2011 after making the move to the Blue Bulls from the EP Kings.
He’s very physical but still a bit raw and needs to work on a few smaller things… but there’s big potential there.
