Stormers Head Coach Stokes The Flame As He Calls Out Munster 'Cheap Shots'

Stormers Head Coach Stokes The Flame As He Calls Out Munster 'Cheap Shots'

Stormers head coach John Dobson has added fuel to fire ahead of his side's URC final clash with Munster on Saturday week.

The reigning champions already caused a stir when video footage captured their mad celebrations after Munster defeated Leinster in last weekends semi-final, with their hooker Joseph Dweba also yelling 'we're going to fuck them up'.

While the wild celebration were mainly due to the fact that had Leinster won they would had to have travelled to Dublin for the final, they have given Munster the perfect motivational clip.

Their head coach has now added even further motivation with his comments from Ryan O’Connor’s breakfast show on SmileFM, where he called out Munster for what he perceived to be cheap shots during their recent URC encounter.

“I think Graham Rowntree is obviously a very bright coach", said Dobson in another interview earlier in the week.

"He’s done an exceptional job with Munster. He is a really nice guy, a true rugby guy. You know what they’ve done lately is remarkable.

“They come here and ended our unbeaten record, you know. They go to the Sharks, a fully loaded Sharks and draw. They go to Scotstoun in Glasgow, who haven’t lost there in the whole season, they win in Glasgow and they then go and win in Leinster. That’s phenomenal.

“And then when we went to them (Munster) on tour last year, we felt that that was the most similar in the URC to Cape Town rugby culture with the people who had flags hanging out their windows and the jerseys.

“Limerick just felt like a rugby city and Thomond Park is a cathedral and they beat us fair and square here, yes. They’ve got some big players returning like RG Snyman who didn’t play this weekend, Conor Murray, (Malakai) Fekitoa and somebody else who I’m forgetting. So it’s gonna be a monstrous clash. They’re really a good team coming right. They’re coming good at the wrong time for us but I love the rugby culture.
