Eight Springboks start for Stormers against Scarlets
Flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is one of eight Springboks in the Stormers’ starting 15 for this afternoon’s United Rugby Championship match against Scarlets in Wales.
The only other change to the backline that did duty in the win against the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus Versfeld sees Herschel Jantjies start at scrumhalf, with Dewaldt Duvenage, Jurie Matthee, and Damian Willemse providing cover on the replacements bench.
In the forward pack, Marcel Theunissen starts at blindside flank in place of the injured Ben-Jason Dixon, while Frans Malherbe, Joseph Dweba, and Ali Vermaak form an experienced front row.
Director of Rugby John Dobson said that while the team only arrived in Wales on Wednesday, they made the most of the two-week period building up to this match.
The other Boks are Herschell Jantjies, Frans Malherbe, Joseph Dweba, Damian Willemse, Evan Roos, Deon Fourie, and captain Salmaan Moerat.
The Stormers are currently 12th on the log after seven defeats in their previous 12 matches. Scarlets are tenth.
The match at Parc y Scarlets kicks off at 5 on Saturday.
