Coach Allister Coetzee confirmed today that DHL Stormers number 8 Nizaam Carr has been ruled out for the balance of the season, with a torn ACL of the right knee.

Carr was replaced after being injured early in yesterday’s match against the Cheetahs by Jebb Sinclair, the Canadian and London Irish player. The DHL Stormers are missing the back 3 of Burger, Vermeulen and Koster already, all of whom are only due back post the June break.
