Ben Loader scored a spectacular try in the DHL Stormers’ pool match against Stade Rochelais and can’t wait to take the defending champions on again in the Investec Champions Cup Round of 16 match at DHL Stadium on Saturday.
Loader dotted down in the corner after latching on to a pinpoint Damian Willemse cross-field kick, and the Englishman is champing at the bit for another chance to get the supporters on their feet.“Damian found me with a great kick and I just had to make the run to the line. It was so amazing to score in front of the fans for the first time at DHL Stadium,” he said.
Loader is relishing every opportunity to thrill the fans at DHL Stadium as part of an exciting DHL Stormers backline. “Saturday was a great win, obviously not the prettiest but at this stage of the season you’ve got to take them wherever they come,” Loader explained. Loader’s explosive running and proficiency on the wing has added a fresh dimension to the DHL Stormers, linking up seamlessly with Willemse, Warrick Gelant, Suleiman Hartzenberg and Leolin Zas in a dynamic and interchangeable back three.
Joining the DHL Stormers this season with almost 100 caps playing for London Irish, the 25-year-old is aware of the challenge posed by Stade Rochelais, yet is braced for the occasion.
