“Eben obviously had the concussion on Friday‚ but he has passed his stage one of his HIA protocols. Everyone is looking fit and I am confident that everyone can play on Saturday.'
Last Friday‚ following the Stormers’ 35-8 win over the Jaguares at Newlands‚ Fleck indicated that Etzebeth wouldn’t play against the ‘Canes after failing an on-field Head Injury Assessment .
“Because Eben played on Friday‚ there was an extra day of recovery for him. He did a little bit of training today. We are confident that he might be ready.” Coupled with the likes of Ngani Laumape and Jordan Barrett‚ the Hurricanes are a formidable attacking force. The pack‚ with or without Etzebeth‚ will have to attain the same standards against the Hurricanes while also improving their lineouts‚ which were again messy against the Jaguares.
