The Stormers are gearing up for their United Rugby Championship (URC) match against Scarlets, with Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu set to make his comeback from injury. Assistant coach Dawie Snyman has high expectations for the talented playmaker, who will be starting at flyhalf in the absence of regular starter Manie Libbok. Feinberg-Mngomezulu is known for his high-energy playing style, and Snyman emphasized the importance of the team supporting him on his return.
“Sacha only knows how to play one way, and he needs to play his natural game without holding back. His teammates need to rally around him and provide the right support so he can make good decisions on the field,” Snyman explained. The team is looking forward to seeing Feinberg-Mngomezulu back in action and creating opportunities for his fellow players.
In a slight surprise move, Damian Willemse has been named on the replacements bench for the game. Snyman revealed that this decision was made to ease Willemse back into the game after a series of injuries and to maintain continuity in the current backline combination. Willemse is expected to come on in the last 30 minutes of the match to continue his recovery process.
With the Stormers currently sitting in 12th place on the URC log, a win against Scarlets is crucial to keep their playoff hopes alive. Snyman emphasized the importance of focusing on the task at hand before looking ahead to future matches. “Our first priority is the game against Scarlets. We understand the significance of the upcoming games and where we stand in the competition. Our goal is to secure the win and ideally earn a bonus point,” he stated.
As the Stormers prepare to face Scarlets, they are confident in their ability to rise to the challenge and secure a much-needed victory. The team is determined to put in a strong performance and build momentum as they look towards the remainder of the URC season.
