Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has announced his team to take on the Crusaders on Saturday and will again be without Peter Grant at flyhalf. Bryan Habana has also been ruled out with injury and we will see Johann Sadie taking his place in the starting line up ahead of Danie Poolman.
Good news though is that experienced hooker Tiaan Liebenberg will make his return to Super Rugby from the bench this weekend, after picking up an injury early in the season.
In the absence of Peter Grant, Lionel Cronje will continue where he left off against the Sharks last weekend, in a very impressive debut starting match.
Stormers team: Conrad Jantjes, Johann Sadie, Jaque Fourie, Jean de Villiers, Gio Aplon, Lionel Cronje, Dewaldt Duvenage, Duane Vermeulen, Francois Louw, Schalk Burger (captain) , Andries Bekker, Rynhardt Elstadt, CJ van der Linde, Deon Fourie, Wicus Blaauw.
Reserves: Tiaan Liebenberg, Brok Harris, De Kock Steenkamp, Nick Koster, Ricky Januarie, Kurt Coleman, Juan de Jongh.

So if the Streamers loose this one they are going to blame the lose on the injury
Sorry Stormers but this is about good news if one must say so

but in the mean time a lose or 4 will us as Shark supporters just well

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 3) :
oh my
but good thinking
it just stars thats all
@wpw (Comment 2) :
But you are right uncle.. the points don’t hurt at all..
Hehehe
Howzit chaz! You’ve been skaars. Is it becos your stalker Megatron has been a regular of late??
Grant must be scared of SBW’s shoulder charge
Why do the Stormers love playing youngsters out of position? Are they that keen to get Sadie into the team?
@war1 (Comment 9) :
It is rather strange..
@war1 (Comment 9) : What youngsters?
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 10) : Look, he is a fantastic prospect but obviously as a centre. I would have thought JJ Engelbrecht or Danie Poolman would have come in instead.
@war1 (Comment 12) :
The one article I saw said that Coetzee wants his X-factor..
But to play him against two of the best wingers in the world!!
@McLovin (Comment 11) : They did it with Koster and then Cronje at fullback for the vc team and now Sadie. Maybe I should have rephrased that comment coz it hasn’t happened all that often.
@war1 (Comment 14) : No worries. I’m just being mischievous.
On the topic of Sadie, unfortunately I haven’t seen much of him, but he seems to have the rugby folk in the Cape raving.
And whilst Poolman hasn’t done anything wrong, he hasn’t exactly set the world alight either. That’s what I think the coaches think. I think.
@McLovin (Comment 15) : It’s nice to see Liebenberg back though.
@McLovin (Comment 16) : I watched the whole of the vodacom quarter final and Sadie played very very well, he really can make things happen. He went off injured though.
@war1 (Comment 17) : It is.
@war1 (Comment 18) :
Sadie was a menace!
He needed two men to bring him down..
@wpw (Comment 7) : hi i just think he got moeg of trying sth and just saw that old chazing is just not into him he is a SADER of all things its like S next to a Bull if you know what i mean
sorry old Megatroll but you got moeg and chaz is full of things just likes to be on top of things and bridges is not my kind of world so under ground he went with a sharks boot
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 6) :
