“We haven’t been briefed on any additional security measures yet‚” said coach Robbier Fleck soon after they touched down in the capital.
It’s understandable that coach Robbie Fleck was unsure what to expect in these trying times for a country that was always seen as one of the safest in the world.
Super Rugby will go on and the Stormers will face the Hurricanes in Wellington on Saturday‚ attempting to end a 10-match losing streak in New Zealand.Against the Hurricanes‚ the Stormers will go into the match without Eben Etzebeth‚ who has concussion‚ while it is likely to be Pieter-Steph du Toit’s only appearance of the tour.
Lock Salmaan Moerat was included in the Stormers’ 27-man touring squad and is likely to see some action off the bench with Chris van Zyl set to start in place of Etzebeth. “The tempo of the games would be of a much higher standard and certainly the width that the New Zealand sides attack with will be a test. We are going to have to be pretty sharp.”
