Looks like the Stormers welcome back another has been stolen valour player. After chasing big bucks from the Sharks and then jetted off to France before retuning home to the saarks which they had to pay kings ransom to bring him back,
He is the most over rated player of all time and was able to hide in Rassies system for over a decade.
Now he is back at the Stormers and on track to captain the boks at the World Cup next year, but his actual playing time will probably be really limited.
I can't see Kolisi captaining the Boks at the WC.
Rassie wants good optics but he wants to win more than that. Kolisi has had his moments but he's not at all what he used to be. Much like a good few of the guard.
Marx seems like the most logical choice to me. But it may be Nortje...or Esterhuizen.
On one hand I feel for the sharks and on the other hand I don't.
Serves them right to try and prop up their team with book stars and constantly raiding the other provinces since way back when.
The biggest flops, but they had a few good cameos were
Bingo, Etzebeth that is only fit for the Boks, Kokosi.
Don't forget that they brought in the Lions players like the Hendrik's brothers, Tsisuka brothers and Edwill.
Yet the Lions are in 3rd, least black players and in a much better position than the sharks.
These players to me were there on skin colour. Some are good but not first class players.
Yet, we see JP making the same mistake as the other inexperienced coaches. Throwing flashy players on the field but can't build or carve out a win
Nope, Kolisi will captain from the bench or from the change room or coaches' box...the onfield captain? Probably Willemse.
It will be Kolisi as captain, probably get the first 30 minutes of each game, before bringing on someone else.
That is why Rassie has to have 7 forwards on the field and two loose forwards.
I see van Staden playing more games at hooker for the booools.
Now we have Marx, Jan Hendrik and Van Staden, not to forget about Grobbies..
Will be interesting season given it is just before the world cup.
Will Tassie continue to experiment and galvanise the team months before the world cup?
