Stormers give some Boks a break during European tour

The Stormers are taking part in an early season European tour in the United Rugby Championship. They take on Zebre in Italy this Saturday, followed by games against Ospreys and Cardiff in Wales. Steven Kitshoff, Frans Malherbe, Joseph Dweba and Deon Fourie have been given a well-deserved break.

Damian Willemse has travelled with the Stormers for their three game tour. He played in almost every game for the Boks and in the Rugby Championship. Willemsse missed the last match against Argentina due to concussion. The Stormer's coach Laker believes that Willesse's young and fit status allowed him to tour with them.
