Stormers receive important injury update

Following the disappointing Champions Cup 24-14 defeat to Toulon in Gqeberha on the weekend, the Stormers have mixed news after three players returned to Cape Town wounded.
Springboks back Manie Libbok, versatile forward Keke Morabe and Ben-Jason Dixon are likely to miss this weekend's important clash at Twickenham Stoop against Harlequins.
The trio travelled back with the Stormers squad after the game at Nelson Mandela Stadium on the weekend.
Libbok was hospitalized after the game with a concussion but later returned to the Stormers squad in their hotel.
Morabe on the other hand, suffered a leg fracture that will require surgery on Monday, that’s likely to rule him out the rest of the season, and for a long stint on the sideline.
Both Ben-Jason Dixon and Libbok will miss this weekend’s clash, both recovering from their respective concussions under a 12-day stand-down protocol.
The Stormers are not short of players on the sideline, with prop Steven Kitshoff (neck), Evan Roos (shoulder), Dan Du Plessis, Ben Loader (both knee) and Damian Willemse (groin) still all stuck on the Sideline for the Cape Town outfit, who are expecting their returns later on in 2025.
On a slightly more positive note for the John Dobson-coached side, they will hopefully welcome back Salmaan Moerat (knee), Sti Sithole, Frans Malherbe (both ankle), Deon Fourie (knee) and Sasha Feinburg-Mngomezulu (concussion) all before the end of 2024, that will boost the overall squad depth going forward.

Sharks players not accurate but a far bigger problem is the useless coaching set up. Tactically so naive. Running the ball from all quarters against a rush defence in humid conditions is just dumb. Simon Zebo said yesterday that if Rassie Erasmus coached the Sharks they would be the best team in Europe. They have a huge talent pool but terrible coaches.
Leinster were quite brilliant - especially on defence. They remind me very much of the 2019 Boks - kick, chase, defend like demons, force opponents into mistakes and strike off turnover ball. Will be intriguing to see how they go the rest of the season, especially against the French giants in the Champions Cup. They have the best defence in Europe but has that come at the expense of a cutting edge on attack? Having a Nienaber-esque defensive mindset against Toulouse and Bordeaux Begles won’t work.
