All About Right Scrum Picture For Stormers' Malherbe Than Scoring Tries

It will be almost five years to the day that he earned his 100th cap that Frans Malherbe will feature in his 150th Stormers match against the Lions at Ellis Park on Saturday 2.30pm kick-off.

On February 8, 2020, Malherbe brought up his century in a Super Rugby clash against the Bulls at Newlands, which the Capetonians won 13-0. The barrel-chested tighthead prop from Bredasdorp who also boasts 76 Springbok Test caps and is a double World Cup winner will hope for another victory in a milestone game at Ellis Park on Saturday.

I joined the senior team at the end of 2010. Its difficult to sum up these 15 years, but I am very privileged for all the chances I got to stay here, keep on playing and recover from injuries, Malherbe said on Tuesday.

Those are all the things that perhaps throw other guys off that journey, so I am very thankful for that. I am one of those fortunate guys who can play for his childhood team that he supported.

Not known for doing the flashy stuff, Malherbe almost celebrated his 150 a bit early in last weeks 33-32 loss to the Bulls at Cape Town Stadium.
