Now it’s Tielemans and whoever. Fernandez is the same: a £100m price tag, won the World Cup. Everyone was a little bit worried, but he’s chipping in with goal after goal and performance after performance.Kevin Schade…

Damian Willemse’s 100th appearance for the Stormers on Saturday should be extra special with the news that fellow playmaker Manie Libbok is in line for selection. Libbok is “fit and ready to play” in the Vodacom URC round 17 clash against Dragons at Cape Town Stadium, according to Willemse and Stormers attack coach Dawie Snyman.
