De Jongh setback for Stormers

16 Mar 2010

Juan de Jongh is out for two weeks with an elbow injury and may even miss the Stormers’ first tour match.

Keo.co.za reported on Monday that the Stormers centre was carrying a long-term elbow niggle and complained of discomfort following the win over the Hurricanes.

Allister Coetzee told this website he would make a call on De jongh’s availability on Tuesday, and it’s been confirmed De Jongh will not feature in Saturday’s clash with the Cheetahs.

The Stormers have a bye next week before embarking on a four-match tour of Australasia, and while De Jongh is likely to tour, he could miss the first fixture against the Force.

Coetzee spoke about bringing Willem de Waal back into the squad this week, and it could be that the flyhalf makes his first appearance in 2010 in a starting capacity.

In this event, Peter Grant will partner Jaque Fourie in midfield while Dylan des Fountain or Frikkie Welsh provide cover on the bench.

Meanwhile, flyhalf Lionel Cronje, who was involved in a punch-up after Saturday’s game, has been suspended for a fortnight. Cronje was supposed to play Vodacom Cup rugby this week, but will sit out, and at this stage it’s uncertain whether he’ll tour with the Stormers.
