And it’s not only at fullback where he’s got a tough decision to make, but in just about every other position too. Who will be his midfield? Jean de Villiers and Juan de Jongh, or will Steyn move into the No 12 jersey and force De Villiers out or into... Full Article at Independent Online (South Africa)

I think we did well to get the bonus point at the end ... To lose two locks within the first 20 minutes of the game, that's pretty tough. But that's rugby and injury will always be part of the game.
One has to see what it’s like on Monday, but the key thing this coming week is definitely recovery.” The Stormers attack finally fired at times, and they were most threatening when they played with width. Captain Jean de Villiers and flyhalf Peter... Full Article at Independent Online (South Africa)

We know that guys like Schalk Burger, Jean de Villiers, Andries Bekker, Duane Vermeulen and Gio Aplon, to name but a few, have been struggling with injuries. There has been a lot of speculation about the seriousness of these injuries, but after next week we'll have a better idea of where they are in ter...
When the Stormers pack is on song and has momentum up, no other team in the competition can touch them. However there are still occasions when they lack efficiency and fail in their quest to dominate, and Stormers captain Jean de Villiers on Wednesday... Full Article at SuperSport
Coetzee has not forgotten the flak that the Waratahs took from their own media a few years ago when they were, to use the cliché, winning ugly. At the time the Waratahs were doing that – winning – but their supporters weren’t happy as they were not... Full Article at SuperSport
But Coetzee is not just mulling over injuries as he heads into round 12. Despite just one loss in 10 games, and sitting a single point behind the Bulls, who head the South African conference, his backline continues to shoot blanks. Captain and leader...

We're happy with the win but we disappointed ourselves with our execution after getting such a good start and then taking our foot off the accelerator ... Definitely not a 100 percent performance from us. We didn't play for 80 minutes.

We're happy with the win but we disappointed ourselves with our execution ... For 50 minutes the Lions had the better of us.
There've been a lot of injuries - guys like Schalk Burger, Juan Smith and Jean de Villiers are all out of action - while there's been speculation about Victor Matfield playing again. I'll announce the captain the week before the first England test and he'll be captain only for those three tests.
The backline is showing signs of improving every week and it is in keeping with the process of what we want to achieve as a team
You always need senior players with experience, and there are a lot of older guys playing very well like Jean de Villiers and Wynand Olivier
We have to be realistic, they've suffered a massive amount of injuries coming into this match
Frans Steyn and Jean de Villiers could provide the answer
There are rules and both teams play under the same rules
Jean de Villiers admits the backs have let the Stormers down in recent matches
Obviously we worked hard last week (when we had a bye) for our four points so we are looking forward to the game
So far this season it has not been good for the backline as a unit, and the way that we would like to play
It hasn’t been good for us as a backline unit, and the way that we want to play. The forwards have really pulled us through in the first two games, and it is time for us to do our part as well
In the past we often haven’t played well after a bye – we want to rectify that (against the Blues at Newlands on Friday night)
Yes, it [our performance] was not flashy but it's still early days, and there's room for improvement
It's something that comes with experience, you just know who to ask, and what should be done
I just said to him ‘Bashy, good luck matey’ as he prepared to take the kick
It would be great if we can make a habit of pulling through a game like this one. We had a very young pack out there today, and see how well they went against quality opposition
He spent some time in Japan just chilling and eating sushi, and to come back here and get a kick from the touchline, knock it over and just jog back as if it's part of his routine, that's experience for you
JP is one of the most underrated players in South Africa. It's always sad to see him get written off when he plays for South Africa. His abilities are often questioned
Timmy went there to get gametime, and it has helped him. He looks good in terms of his conditioning, and we know he is a quality player
We haven’t seen their team yet but they have made a few switches of position this season. To my mind JP is the most underrated player in the country. There have been times when I have been dumbfounded at the way that JP has been written off by people when he has been involved with the Springboks
We know that the Sharks were disappointed last year when we beat them, but I am not sure we were more physical than they were. They dished it out as much as they took it, as is usually the case in matches between these teams
