I love this province and this DHL Stormers squad. I love everything we stand for as a squad because there is such a recognition and appreciation of rugby’s history in this province. For some, this history was tainted and tortured and for others it was terrific and privileged, but what defines this squad is that every weekend they create a singular and unified history.
We have used more players this season than any other squad. Ordinarily that would be seen as a negative. For me it is the greatest positive as to how we have been prepared to trust whoever we believe is good enough to be the next cab off the rank. As a coaching staff, we take great pride in the fact that we’ve been able to give so many players exposure to high pressure game time this season. There are so many benefits long-term but in our first six matches of the season, four of them away from home, we also saw the short-term benefits, as so many players have shown they were up to the task at this level.
South African rugby players and coaches are in foreign territory for now because of how the season is structured. In a few years it will be the norm but for now it is very different to be preparing a squad for five successive matches, which culminates with a night kick-off on the 31st December.
