Rugby-Fleck survives meeting to determine fate as Stormers coach
The Stormers beat the Bulls 24-23 in Cape Town on April 27, but lost last weekend 30-25 away in Buenos Aires to the Jaguares. It left the Stormers with a record of five wins from 11 matches, but in eighth place in the overall Super Rugby standings. They are still in contention for the playoffs, though they have played a game more than many of their rivals.
With four of their five remaining matches to come at Newlands, the Stormers have a good chance to reach the next stage and the WP board came to the conclusion it would not be advantageous to dismiss the coach, the report said. The 43-year-old Fleck, a former Springbok centre, is due to depart at the end of the season anyway when his contract expires and will be replaced by John Dobson.
The Stormers have a bye this weekend but play defending champions the Canterbury Crusaders from New Zealand in their next game at home on May 18. (Reporting By Mark Gleeson Editing by Christian Radnedge)
