Robert du Preez

Robert du Preez will line up at flyhalf for the Stormers in their pre-season friendly against the Boland Cavaliers at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.

Demetri Catrakilis and Kurt Coleman played flyhalf in last Friday’s 39 / 31 win over the Cheetahs at Newlands.

But Du Preez will get a chance to showcase his skills with a starting role on Saturday, the Stormers announced via their official Facebook page.

Du Preez, 21, has been a star performer for the Western Province juniors and many has predicted a bright future for the youngster. He is also the son of former Springbok scrumhalf Robert.

Stormers coach Allister Coetzee will announce his team to play Boland on Thursday.

It will be the Stormers’ final pre-season match before they start their Super Rugby campaign against the Bulls in Pretoria on 14 February.

    I have it VERY GOOD authority that the Greek lad’s move up north was prompted by him being told that he is basically “surplus to requirements”, and that he has yet to “prove himself”.

    Dimitri is an excellent kicker, but with him at 10 the only tries we will score is on counter-attack…

    If we can combine the attacking flair of Coleman with the cool head and kicking ability of Dimitri we will more or less have the perfect player.

    Agreed Rob. To be fair to Coleman though, he’s a better kicker than he sometimes gets credit for…

    I am not convinced about Du Preez but let’s wait and see…
