VIDEO: Incredible Trokkie turns attention to Stormers
WATCH as Ulster No. 8 Juarno Augustus sends a timely reminder not only to the Springboks management but also the Stormers with his impressive display during his team’s 29-12 win over Exeter Chiefs.
The loose forward, long touted as a serious contender for the Springbok jersey, turned on the style in Belfast.
Augustus made powerful carries, topping the charts with 15. He completed 11 tackles and almost grabbed a brace, but on his second visit to the opposition’s in-goal area, the ball was ruled held up.

In the wake of his Final in Belfast, the South African has urged the Ulster faithful to again turn out in their numbers for the upcoming United Rugby Championship fixtures.
The Irish side host the Stormers this Friday in the penultimate league clash.
“Thank you to the fans for coming out and supporting us,” he said.
“We are truly grateful for them and hopefully they can come and support us in the next couple of league games.”
Currently eight on the URC table, the former Stormer did not downplay the importance of the upcoming matches against his former franchise and Glasgow Warriors as his current team push for a play-off spot.
“They are important games for us because we are in the middle of the log and we need to win one or two of the next games to qualify.
“We focus on the Stormers now.”
Ulster had gone into the Challenge Cup semifinal on the back of URC defeats to Irish rivals Leinster and Munster, while they had also lost at home to Connacht in Round 13.
So, there was a determination to make amends in front of their fans.
