Injured Carr in doubt for Super Rugby encounter against Western Force
Stormers flank Nizaam Carr is in doubt for this Saturday’s Super Rugby encounter against the Western Force in Perth because of an injured shoulder. Carr sustained the injury during the Stormers’ 57-31 win over the Rebels in Melbourne last Saturday‚ which took the Cape side to the brink of qualifying for the play-offs. Coach Robbie Fleck said that Carr would be reassessed on Monday.

"We've got good cover so should Nemo (Carr) go back‚ and hopefully not‚ but should he go back we'll probably replace him with a backline player‚" said Fleck. "There's enough forward cover here. We came over with a 16 /11 split (between forwards and backs) so we've got enough forward cover here." Sikhumbuzo Notshe was impressive off the bench against the Rebels and would comfortably slot in to the starting lineup. Utility forward Rynhardt Elstadt is also with the squad. - TMG Digital..
