Jacques Fourie, getting ready to wear the blue and white stripes?
I’ve been hearing whispers of this and that over the last two days.
I’ve been trying to find out what’s happening and I’m not sure how true it is, but I have it on quite good authority that WP are signing Jacques Fourie. I’m not sure yet who the other is. If it is true though, it’s a pity that Jean De Villiers is leaving. Can you imaging the two of them tearing through the midfield defence of Super 14 teams? Devastating…

What a move that would be.
Would have been great to see Jean and Jacques play together at Province. An unstoppable domestic/international centre pair combination a bit like De Wet Barry and Marius Joubert back in the day.
I`ve heard that other than Jaques, WP is also looking at Wynand Olivier as a centre combo with him for the Super 14, I reckon that will give our midfield a huge edge.
Hi Cobus, I think that will definitely help WP in their midfield.
And the two of them would have at least played alongside each other before.
