The state of the Cape Town Stadium surface or the new 'brake foot' rule hasn't deterred Springbok prop Steven Kitshoff from prepping for a scrum battle against Wales on Saturday.
The state of the Cape Town Stadium surface and the new ‘brake foot’ rule hasn’t deterred Springbok prop Steven Kitshoff from revving up to attack the Wales scrum on Saturday.
And it was no different in 2022 as the Stormers pack faced off against all-comers on their homeground over a memorable season that culminated in the Capetonians being crowned Vodacom United Rugby Championship winners. “I’m not 100% sure what the surface looks like at the moment, but in the URC it was a bit slippery, and certain areas of the field weren’t in great shape. We were promised by the grounds keepers there that they would fix up the surface, and hopefully, it holds up nicely this weekend.
Set for another shift as part of the formidable Bok Bomb Squad on Saturday, Kitshoff also highlighted the importance of the front rows adapting to the new rule that is being enforced.
