Stormers loosehead prop Steven Kitshoff with fans during the URC title Victory Parade at Grand Parade on June 24.While the loss of veteran Springboks loosehead prop Steven Kitshoff would be massive for the Stormers, coach John Dobson is consoled by the thrilling young talent in Western Province’s pipeline.
Dobson didn’t deny the possibility of losing the player to Ulster, but said they were going to talk to the player after their 16-all draw against Ospreys in Wales on Friday. However, the Stormers have managed to find perfect replacements that helped them to the URC title in the previous campaign. “At Western Province, coming out of matric this year there will be eight locks 2 metres tall and we will keep three or four and a couple will go up to the Bulls and the Sharks.“There are two young locks in their 20s and they probably should have been on this trip . We have got a golden generation if you look at Sacha Mngomezulu in the SA U20 and Suleiman Hartzenberg.
