Back-line coming together

Erasmus was also very excited about the role Habana can play.

The Bok wing will join up with the Cape franchise once his obligations with the national team is over.

First he will attempt to win the Currie Cup with the Blue Bulls, when they play the Free State Cheetahs at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on October 31.

Then it is off on the year-end tour with the Boks, before a much-needed break.

However, from January he should be on Stormers duty.

Erasmus said Habana could flourish in the Cape Town set-up, where a player is either a hero or a zero.

"I know him [Habana] very well - I coached him when I was at the Boks - and the guy is an absolute professional," Erasmus said.

"He doesn't let anything go to his head, he always works hard. In this province he is the cherry on top and if we get Jaque Fourie - how they can help [players like] Juan de Jongh, Joe Pietersen and Gio Aplon.

"It is starting to become an exciting backline if we select it right - a guy like Juan de Jongh won't be on the field with just a bunch of youngsters around him.

"It will be a Habana, maybe a Jaque Fourie, a Conrad Jantjes - it is starting to look okay at the backs."
