[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 793109, member: 39190"] So with Toetie touted as being all but appointed already will we see a Stormers bias? Will we be playing Coetzee's version of 'Stormers rugby'? TBH the only guys I see as getting a look in where he might not have is in Vincent Koch, Kolisi and possibly Carr. The Stormers are very much a team of obvious test players mixed with journeymen. We don't have a lot of those 'maybe' players ITO international rugby. Kolbe maybe as well? No, I think Coetzee's comments regarding size will come into play here. He never had the option at the Stormers but he has more powerful blokes to choose from if he has all SA players to choose from. On the flip side this could be bad news for Lions players. There is something of a shared perception in the Cape that interior players look good playing for interior teams and turn too poo when playing in our side and that the interior teams and coastal teams play totally different brands of rugby, the Lions and Lions players in particular (Jantjies' stint in the Cape and Taute being cases in point).
