Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>xLe Roux said these appointments signal the beginning of an exciting new era for the franchise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis team has the potential to be a global rugby powerhouse, given the talent in the region and unrivalled love for the game among its supporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to ensure the business standards match that of the rugby programme and help propel the team to greater heights.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is crucial we run a sustainable model that will ensure our strength into the future and we have already made some fairly big steps in this regard in a short time. There is every reason to be excited about what the future holds for the Stormers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dobson said he will be responsible in his new role for ensuring the Stormers become a force in world rugby for generations to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy love for this team and the rugby people in this region is well documented and I will continue to put everything I can into making our rugby as strong as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs director of rugby I will now be looking more broadly at the rugby environment in our organisation and planning for where we want to go and overseeing the squad and our mission to make Cape Town smile.\u201d<\/p>\n
