The Stormers look to bounce back from a poor lineout performance against Racing 92 as they take on Leinster in Dublin. Assistant coach Rito Hlungwani believes the team has learned from its mistakes and is ready to face the challenge.
The Stormers are aiming for a significant victory against Leinster in Dublin this Saturday, bouncing back from a disappointing lineout performance against Racing 92. Stormers assistant coach Rito Hlungwani acknowledges the team's shortcomings in the lineout against Racing, admitting they were caught off guard by the French team's tactics. However, he expresses confidence that the Stormers have learned valuable lessons and will be significantly improved in this area.
Hlungwani, who specializes in the lineout, states that the Stormers were not at their best against Racing, partially due to the French team's well-prepared strategies and effective execution. He believes that the Stormers' players were not at their usual standard, but also credits Racing for their impressive performance. Despite the setback, Hlungwani emphasizes that the Stormers have moved on from the game, analyzed their mistakes, and are committed to avoiding similar errors against Leinster. The Stormers have strategically rested several key players in recent matches, with the intention of fielding a full-strength lineup against Leinster. Manie Libbok, Deon Fourie, Warrick Gelant, BJ Dixon, Leolin Zas, and Seabelo Senatla are all expected to return to the starting lineup. The team is awaiting updates on the fitness of Evan Roos, Joseph Dweba, and Suleiman Hartzenberg, who sustained injuries in the previous match. Leinster, while fielding a mostly second-string team due to several Irish internationals being away for a training camp, still presents a formidable challenge. Even their reserve team is considered one of the strongest in the URC. Hlungwani acknowledges the strength of Leinster and the importance of the match for the Stormers, stating that a victory would be a significant achievement. The Stormers are determined to put in their best effort against Leinster and secure a win.
