Best of the best

Stormers captain Jean de Villiers rates flyhalf Peter Grant as the most valuable player for the table-topping Cape side this season.

Grant has impressed this year with his solid all-round game and dead-eye goalkicking which has seen him slot more than 90 percent of his shots at goal.

Many (including Sharks coach John Plumtree) have suggested that Grant would excel at Test level, and it would seem that the Springbok captain agrees if the glowing praise he gave the dependable pivot on Wednesday is anything to go by.

"Peter Grant in my view is probably our best player this year, he has been fantastic, he has won us games like the one against the Sharks at Newlands when he kicked that penalty," said de Villiers.
