[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1164084, member: 60236"] No Springboks on the tour I think. They’re on the bus across SA over the weekend, and then I think it’s mandatory rest. Maybe the last game but I doubt it. Moerat was the first game back out injured. Terrible luck. We actually performed relatively decently in the forwards so far, so not yet worried there. For the tour I’m worried about centre. Injuries and Boks away means we are really thin there and going to have to play players out of position. Hopefully we can make it work. And I think Vermeulen isn’t there to play every game if we get him. He is there to play a squad role. Last year we got exposed on depth at some points. That being said I don’t think loose forward is where we needed the buffering. I noticed the flair was at an all time high for the Stormers this weekend, particularly Gelant. Wondering if that’s just because of how far ahead we were or that’s how we are going to play. Specifically referring to the many speculative short kicks, running consistently from our own 22 and quite a few no look pop passes. Was fun to watch at least. Looking forward to the season. This Glasgow team is a tough test though at home. [/QUOTE]
