Stormers assistant coach Rito Hlungwani believes arriving early in Scotland and traveling in comfort could give the team a crucial edge in their URC quarterfinal against the Glasgow Warriors.
Glasgow Warriors flyhalf Adam Hastings is all too aware of the challenge posed by the Stormers' dynamic backline, particularly with playmakers like Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Warrick Gelant calling the shots.
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu of the Stormers and the Bulls duo of Cameron Hanekom and Wilco Louw have earned nominations for the South African United Rugby Championship Player of the Season Award.
The Stormers are looking to secure the services of flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu on a long-term deal while rumours continue to swirl around a possible comeback for Cheslin Kolbe.
Stormers fullback Damian Willemse has been suspended following a high tackle on Cardiff wing Gabe Hamer-Webb.
The Stormers and Bulls will kick off the 2025/26 United Rugby Championship season at home against Leinster and Ospreys, while the Sharks and Lions start their campaigns in Glasgow and Cardiff in the final weekend of September.
