Stormers to build on current squad as Bok stars line up for return

The Stormers want to focus on retaining their current talent, despite the interest of some Springbok World Cup winners to join the team.

The Stormers will be aiming to build cohesion in their current squad as they target a sustainable future for the union after the Red Disa ConsortiumStormers Director of Rugby John Dobson and new CEO Johan le Roux fronted up to the media in Cape Town on Tuesday to speak about the deal which they believe will revolutionize Stormers and Western Province rugby.

“Kitsie was a no-brainer. He is a leader, he is one of us, and was gone for a very short time. He is just so close to us and you have seen the problems we have had at loosehead . So luckily because of this deal we were in a position to bring him back,” explained Dobson.Although the prospect of more Bok stars possibly joining the Stormers will be of big interest to fans, Dobson is just relieved that the long term future of the team has been secured going forward.

“For us to work with people who have been incredibly patient and professional and have a real vision for what they want to do here is amazing. Our overwhelming feeling to Johan and his team is one of immense gratitude because we couldn’t have carried on like we were.
