“Our plan with him is probably to let him settle at 12 and then longer-term he could be one of the better flyhalves in this country.”Dobson admitted that it will be interesting to try and get the balance right between playing Mngomezulu, Libbok and Willemse, with the Stormers having a lot of depth in the backline.
“Sacha was outstanding today, but he doesn’t have to start every game in what will probably be a breakout season. Manie is definitely our number one flyhalf, and Damian will play at 12 and 15 depending on how Clayton goes. “It’s not impossible to see Manie at 10, Sacha at 12 and Damian at fullback, if Clayton’s not around. Sacha has now been exposed a bit at this level, and he has confidence. Whether that means he starts or not next week, I’m not sure.
“We won’t be able to field our best combinations every single week. We will have Clayton back next week and Damian will be going back home. We have to build capacity and I think Sacha’s performance was a massive step forward. “Unless something goes wrong, he is going to be involved in every one of our matchday 23s going forward.”
