Sheridan is not a six like Henderson he is second row who can play six if necessary . Whereas T Beirne is a six who can play second row and does for Ireland due to the strength of the Irish back row . Sheridan will be in the second row when Henderson retires or goes abroad for the money because His ...

The Stormers were a fit physical outfit who concentrated a rush defence at Doak who was identified as a green out half he was looking at three closing on him in the first 10 -15 minutes the pressure was ease by putting the ball wide . and keeping play in the stomers half -- come half time the roles ...

At that level its not what you know its who you know ! Petrie was fine choice when Logan went there was too much sh!T for a local face . But he lacks local network necessary at this time .

There are few playing their last season I think and Capt I’m not sure how much Lowe has improved he keeps his place for his kick and catch game most of his trys are close to being walk overs
