Dobson's use of the word 'crisis' to describe the Stormers' loose-forward situation isn't wrong on its face — Theunissen is three to four months away after surgery, Dayimani is in concussion protocols, and Dixon remains in the same protocols he's been navigating since the 'Greatest Rivalry' series. But Gavin Rich's piece points out the obvious irony: a team fielding a fully Bok back row of De Villiers, Kolisi and Roos, with Fourie off the bench, is a strange kind of crisis. The article probes Dobson on the depth behind that headline trio — Morabe and Ackermann are back in training, Norton's lock-to-flank versatility has already proved useful, and Malaba was next in line at No 8 before Roos' timely return to fitness. The real concern lurking beneath the surface is lock depth: Moerat and Van Heerden are gone, and Dobson admits a Schickerling injury would expose the squad badly — making Dixon's dual-position utility increasingly critical when he does return.
