Director Dobbo: Promoted Stormers boss says 'nothing changes' on road to rugby's top table
He is now officially director of rugby John Dobson as well as head coach John Dobson, but the promoted Stormers boss insists his role at the franchise will essentially be unchanged despite his new title.
Dobson was confirmed as DoR shortly after investment equity firm Red Disa's acquisition of the franchise last month and on the same day that new owner, Johan le Roux, was named CEO. After months of negotiating, red tape and financial uncertainty, the Stormers and Western Province Rugby are now on solid ground, with real financial backing and the security that comes with it.
