Robust Roos makes a statement for Springboks

Stormers No 8 Evan Roos put down a marker for the Springboks, but as much fun as it is to watch South African teams hammering those from up north in the United Rugby Championship, there isn’t one South African team good enough to beat Leinster in Dublin and win the competition,I loved the Stormers three-point win against Ulster at the Cape Town Stadium. A great start, which yielded 14 points from two converted tries in the first eight minutes and a brave last two minutes of defending.

The Moneyman picked an Ulster win and but for a wonderful try-saving hand tackle in the 78th minute, he’d have been on the money. The margins are fine when you have bucks riding on a result. The last Springboks match day 23, defeated in the last minute 27-26 at Twickenham against England, have only six players playing across four franchises in the United Rugby Championship. The seventh, Frans Steyn is playing Currie Cup rugby with the Cheetahs.Hence, it will take something out of the ordinary for a South African team right now to win the URC, but what is pleasing is that the Stormers and Bulls are showing they are up for the fight to be considered a top four team.

They don’t have a No 10 and they will win nothing until they get one. I also don’t believe they have a coaching leadership good enough to be champions in waiting. They need change and a No 10.

mark_keohane Duhh cause they'll have many of their international players back

mark_keohane Anything is possible,South African team are gaining momentum now,I wish they can be consistent, Watch Bulls and Stormers
