John Dobson has downplayed rumours of England boss Eddie Jones trying to snap up DHL Stormers playmaker Sacha Mngomezulu.
The 20-year-old Mngomezulu has reportedly caught the eye of Jones, with one report claiming the England coach is “planning a swoop” for the Junior Springbok skipper, who qualifies to play for the Roses through his father, radio personality Nick Feinberg.
“As far as I know, he’s got an English passport. He certainly didn’t queue as long as us coming into Heathrow,” joked Dobson from Wales on Thursday in a media conference ahead of a Vodacom United Rugby Championship clash between the Stormers and Ospreys on Friday.“But he’s under contract to Western Province until 2025. I can’t see that [the England move] being a realistic possibility for him,” the Stormers coach added.
