The DHL Stormers back youngsters such as Jonathan Roche to make a potential impact for Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Dan du Plessis against Toulon on Saturday.
The Stormers kick off their Champions Cup campaign this week with a marquee match at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha.
Flyhalf Manie Libbok will slot in for Feinberg-Mngomezulu, and Jurie Matthee likely to come onto the bench, but it’s in midfield where Du Plessis’ injury could leave a gap. “A concern would be Dan du Plessis, he limped off towards the end of the game and we’re waiting on feedback. He’s doubtful,” Hlungwani told reporters. “ suffered a concussion, he’ll be out.
“Josh Boulle is SA U21 and pretty decent; this will be a nice time to show a youngster who has shown potential an opportunity.”A busy December period awaits John Dobson’s charges, with a trip to London next week to face Premiership club Harlequins before back-to-back derbies against the Lions and Sharks in Cape Town.
