Double agent

You would be forgiven for thinking that Ricky Januarie was a Bulls player in a Stormers jersey on Saturday. The guy was dismal. I counted three knock-on's from him within the first 10 minutes of the game.

He looked out of sorts, clueless and over weight. Arguably, there is no more pathetic player in the S15. The mere fact that he posses 49 Springbok caps is a joke. It really is a mystery how he keeps getting selected.

His poor handling of the ball, aimless kicking and visible indecision contributed heavily towards the Stormers first loss to South African opposition in this seasons S15. Collectively the Stormers were terrible with their line-outs a shambles. Januarie, however, was just the nail in the coffin.

KFC for dinner?

Brian Habana too was well below par, yet again. His form very worrying with the World Cup less than 100 days away. At this stage, Habana couldn't pull a greased stick out of a pigs vagina. He is that poor.

Besides Habana's season long poor form and Januarie's incompetence, the Stormers still have the fate of their season firmly in their own hands. They need a win (with a bonus point) against the Cheetahs to secure a home playoff place.

The chances of the Stormers winning the S15 outright depends heavily on the fitness of both Peter Grant and Dewald Duvenhage, the key No. 9 & 10 combination.

If Januarie has any part to play in the Stormers up coming fixtures, we, as Stormers fans can kiss our chances of winning, good-bye.

As far as I'm concerned, Lyon, Januarie is all yours.

Hopefully Newlands will never have to see this blunt instrument ever again.
