[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 473689, member: 24910"] A few interesting names there that I'm not overly familiar with. I terms of front row options I notice you haven't mentioned Brok Harris - is he injured (or left), or are you just not a big fan of his? I've always been quite impressed by Harris, and would have thought he would be starting again for the Stormers this season. I've heard some good things about Steven Kitshoff (he's the red head right?), but I wonder whether its a bit early for him to be starting at this level. He only turns 20 next month, and I'd be a bit worried that he may he exposed by more experienced props. I do like the loose-forward trio you have suggested (with Elstadt on the flank), but I'd be a bit worried about how they would go should Burger get injured, as there really isn't any openside cover (have Vermeuelen or Koster ever played there?). Is there any chance the the likes of Nizaam Carr and Siya Kolisi will get much gametime for the Stormers this season? Both really impressed me at under 20 level. I haven't seen anything of Katrakilis, so will be interesting to see how he goes. Mbovane looked quite sharp for the U20's but again I think it may be a bit early for him at this level - perhaps I'm just far more conservative than you! I'd really like to see van den Heever get some consistent starts, as he always seems a quality player to me (though I suspect Habana will start on one wing). [/QUOTE]
