Wales midfielder Jamie Roberts reportedly poised for shock Super Rugby switch
By Online Editors
Experienced Wales and British and Irish Lions midfielder Jamie Roberts is reportedly on the verge of completing a transfer to the Stormers ahead of the 2020 Super Rugby season.
According to Afrikaans news outlet Rapport, Roberts is eager to move to Cape Town in a bid to win more game time as he eyes a third tour with the Lions ahead of their eight-match trip to South Africa next year.
Stormers head coach John Dobson hinted at a potential signing last week when he highlighted the midfield as an area of weakness for his side given their loss of personnel through injuries and transfer movements over the off-season.

World Cup-winning Springboks midfielder Damian de Allende has parted ways with the club and made his debut for the Panasonic Wild Knights in the Japanese Top League over the weekend, and JJ Engelbrecht has linked up with the Sunwolves.
Dan Kriel has also jumped ship to join South African conference rivals, the Lions, while Daniel du Plessis currently sits under an injury cloud.
Cover will also be required later in the season if the Stormers qualify for the Super Rugby play-offs, as Ruhan Nel will depart the side to pursue his Olympic ambitions with the Blitzboks in Tokyo.

Go to commentsMy name is Graham Paterson. I am coping fine . Ardie Savea and Moana Pasfifika deserved there victory. The outstanding David Havili was missed .I think , if you leave out Christian Lio-Willie , who has been so good. Best if Tom Christie starts with Ethan Blackadder and Cullen Grace. Mitchell Drummond too at 9. Some of those guys were short of a gallop against a fired up Pasifika.
