Stormers lose Springbok De Allende for 12 weeks
By Tom Webber
Stormers centre Damian de Allende will spend approximately 12 weeks out of action with an ankle injury.
The South Africa international sustained the issue in the second half of Saturday's 37-24 Super Rugby victory over Bulls on Saturday.
The 25-year-old joins Scarra Ntubeni, Leolin Zas and Juan de Jongh on the sidelines.
De Allende could miss up to 11 games for Stormers, meaning he is unlikely to have any match practice before the Springboks take on France in a three-match Test series in June.

Thanks for the analysis Nick, thought provoking as usual. Couple of queries though, in the pic where you've circled Williams bind , I'm pretty sure it shows Stuart's knee on the ground, surely that's a NZ penalty? Also having had the chance to watch it again the All Black scrum seeems to improve after halftime, but before either England or the All Blacks replace their props. Not sure if that was the result of Tuipolutu coming on or some halftime tips. Either way this is only Williams second international season, so he'll be better for the experience.
Go to commentsif the clock could be turned back, Jones should still have been given the top job, to be assisted by Farrell, Borthwick, Catt, & Rowntree, and after 2019 he should have been replaced by Farrell.
