Bok lock leans towards France

A Springbok lock could be headed to France next season. According to Rapport, Stormers captain Salmaan Moerat is seriously weighing up a move to French giants La Rochelle and could link up with the club later this year. Moerat is currently sidelined after undergoing toe surgery following the Stormers clash against the Sharks in Cape Town in January. MORE: Bulls back heads abroad A source close to the player told Rapport that while the deal has not yet been finalised, there are still one or two outstanding issues on the Stormers’ side before it can be confirmed. The 28-year-old is expected to return in time for the Vodacom URC play-offs and could also come into contention for the Springboks’ Test against England at Ellis Park. Should the move materialise, it would leave the Stormers thin in the second row. Ruben van Heerden has already signed with Montpellier for next season, while a potential deal for the Bulls’ Cobus Wiese collapsed after he opted to remain in Pretoria.

Bulls back heads abroad

A key member of the Vodacom Bulls backline has decided to continue his career in France. According to Rapport, utility back David Kriel is set to join Top 14 club La Rochelle at the end of the season, ending speculation over his future after attracting interest from clubs in Japan and Scotland. The 27-year-old had also been in discussions with Franco Smith’s Glasgow Warriors. Instead, Kriel – who came off the bench in the 65th minute of the Bulls’ win against Munster at Loftus on Saturday – will link up with a La Rochelle side coached by Ronan O’Gara. ACKERS: Bulls left a lot of points out there The French club has built strong South African ties in recent years, with former Springbok wings Dillyn Leyds and Raymond Rhule playing an important part in their Investec Champions Cup title triumphs. Former Bok prop Gurthrö Steenkamp spent four successful years at the club as scrum coach, while ex-Stormers strength and conditioning coach Stephan du Toit continues to work there. ALSO: Bulls to give Champions Cup ‘best shot’ Kriel’s departure provides further context to the Bulls’ recent recruitment drive in the backline, with Curwin Bosch (Brive), Dylan Maart (Griquas) and Thaakir Abrahams (Munster) all heading to Pretoria.
