WP set sights on Bulls guru

Cape Town - Western Province and the Stormers are reportedly hunting the services of Bulls kicking consultant Vlok Cilliers.

Cilliers, a former flyhalf who played one Test for the Boks in 1996, started working as the Bulls' kicking coach in 2004.

However, Cilliers has only been used on a consultancy basis by the Bulls in recent times, and according to Wednesday's Die Burger, the 46-year-old could be heading back to the team he played for in the 1990s.

It will be the third step in the right direction as the union attempts to improve its coaching structures. Gert Smal was appointed Director of Rugby in March after the Stormers' season took a turn for the worse. Smal also recently appointed Henning Gericke as sports psychologist.

Since these appointments, the Stormers have showed marked improvement, and won four out of five games last month.
