Stormers count cost of "expensive" Friday night

But in the post-match press conference, Stormers coach John Dobson revealed it had been a costly day on the field for the franchise.

"It was an expensive day for us," said Dobson, as per unitedrugby.com.

"To lose two locks (Ruben van Heerden and Ernst van Rhyn) in one half... Suleiman (Hartzenberg) looks like he suffered a serious injury in the Currie Cup game. It was a very pricey day.

"It's concussion (with Seabelo Senatla), he could be out for two weeks.

"They (Van Heerden and Van Rhyn) all haven't been scanned yet but looks like two knees. Luckily we had cover and BJ (Ben-Jason Dixon) did brilliantly but it was expensive.

"We will do some work on Monday and Tuesday but it will be pretty chilled and put in a nice high-speed session before the long weekend.

"Our most important thing now is to freshen up. So we will get some detail planted, get a nice sweat in on Wednesday and then give them the long weekend. Less is more at this stage."

The Stormers next run out against the Bulls in their URC quarterfinal match against the Bulls on 6 May.
