Open letter to Gert Smal

After a much better start than last year, the Stormers have now lost their last two games against Kiwi teams.


Yes, they did beat the Bulls, Lions, Sharks and Blues (but who didn't).


However, they were found wanting with pure offloading skills, angled running lines, support runners and the fast tempo the Kiwis play with when they faced the Chiefs and Highlanders.


It is a pleasure to see the New Zealand team attack space and support each other.


The Stormers' biggest improvement is in the scrums.


They are excellent there and Steven 'Vlam' Kitshoff should have been part of Heyn…
