Midweek Madness - Prop Brok Harris clears his line

The Stormers have surprised everyone this season by reaching the finals of the Super 14 with a brand of rugby that involves serious attention to detail on defence, and a fifteen man game when on attack. This is a short clip that exemplifies the latter approach.

They face the Bulls in the final on Saturday in Soweto, having named an unchanged side from the one that beat the Waratahs in the semifinal in Cape Town a few days ago.

Packing down in the front row will be Brok Harris, who at times this season has shown that he’s more than just an ox who does the hard work up front come the set pieces.

That’s been a trademark of the Stormers’ play this year, in that they’ve scored tries from all over the park with numbers one to fifteen getting involved to the point that we’ve seen props give scoring passes, and loose forwards combine out wide as if they’re midfield veterans.

There’s even been a 6ft10 giant galloping around as though he’s a wing, such is the confidence in the side. They’ll be truly tested against the Bulls though, playing them away from home in what will probably be a far tighter contest.

This short clip from earlier in the season is a pretty funny example of just how much confidence the players have out there on the park, and how the game has changed over the years.

Whether he’s been secretly practising at training or it’s natural ability, prop Brok Harris shows us that it’s not only backs who can impress with the boot when called upon.
