The Hurricanes have hit back at the Stormers for saying they are vuilgat.
Instead, Canes assistant coach Chris Gibbes says it’s the Stormers that aren’t as clean as they claim to be.
After reading Stormers coach John Dobson’s assessment that his team took cheap shots, Gibbes tells Stuff NZ: “I’ve just read the article and it’s blindsided all of us to be fair.

“It’s a pretty big glass house there to be honest.
“There are a few clips that we’ve looked at – [scrumhalf] TJ [Perenara] getting tackled off the ball, head shots and guys getting their head hit.
“So I don’t know where he’s coming from with that.
“He’s entitled to his opinion, but it’s a bit surprising, and a bit disappointing.”
