After struggling with their front row depth last season, the Stormers are suddenly looking stacked in the department. After an incredible performance from the Stormers’ forwards who powered them to a brilliant 35-0 whitewash of United Rugby Championship (URC) defending champs Leinster, Director of Rugby John Dobson hailed the sudden depth they have in the front row department. Speaking after the Leinster result Dobson admitted his excitement for the future of the Stormers forward pack. This time last year, we had guys like Steven Kitshoff and Frans Malherbe, and now we have Olly Reid, Zach Porthen and Vernon Matongo,” said Dobson. We had a plan, but it had to be a different plan to the normal Stormers plan,” explained Dobson.
