Boosted by the successful return of JD Schickerling, the DHL Stormers are considering unleashing a Bomb Squad of replacements when the squad returns to full strength this season.
Schickerling, who returned to the DHL Stormers from a stint with Japan, made a successful Vodacom URC debut against Ospreys in Bridgend, where he capped an excellent performance with a try.
With the Stormers awaiting the return of Springbok vice-captain Salmaan Moerat from international duty and with enforcer Adre Smith in the squad, forwards coach Rito Hlungwani is excited about the potential of having two sets of locks in a matchday squad. “Going forward, we will have to sit and talk about how we manage them. It will be great to have two guys starting and then two guys with similar qualities coming on to impact the second half. It will give us a nice edge.The Stormers are currently in Parma, where they will look to bounce back from a season-opening defeat to Ospreys.
