REPORT: Stormers find solution to their back row concern
TRANSFER TALK: Stormers may have found the solution to their back row problems ahead of the Rainbow Cup.
The Cape Town franchise have already lost the services of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, who moved to the Sharks, and highly-rated Jaco Coetze, who joined the Premiership club Bath.
While Stormers will also be without Juarno Augustus for Rainbow Cup after the former Junior Springbok was ruled out for up to three months with an injury.
However, in an effort to boost their pack, Stormers have opted to add Willie Englebrecht to their back row stocks.
