⚽Stormers boss John Dobson has recalled 4 Springbok players to his side for the much-anticipated URC clash with Leinster in Dublin. URC TheCitizenSport Read the full story ⬇️
coach John Dobson knows he will need every man to be at his best“For me the benchmark in the south has always been the Crusaders and I see Leinster as the Crusaders of the north,” said Dobson. “They set the standard and they are what we as the Stormers want to be in terms of success and continuity.
‘I have huge admiration for what Leo has achieved as a player and a coach and massive respect for Leinster as one of the leading lights in world club rugby. It is going to be a massive challenge for us on Friday but it will give our players an indication of where they are in terms of defending the title.”
Dobson added winning in Dublin would be considered his team’s biggest achievement. “To go to Dublin and win is the biggest away achievement and that is why I rated Jake’s Bulls semi-final win against Leinster as the match of the league .Leinster are expected to be without several first choice players, such as flyhalf Johnny Sexton, for the match, as many are either injured, concussed or resting following Ireland’s Six Nations match last weekend.
