The DHL Stormers might need a new captain and inside centre for their upcoming match against Toulon. Current captain Dan du Plessis is doubtful and inside centre Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is out due to concussion, creating a shortage of suitable replacements.
The DHL Stormers may need to find both a new captain as well as a new inside centre for Saturday’s opening Investec Champions Cup clash with French giants Toulon in Gqeberha on Saturday .
Although Feinberg-Mngomezulu played flyhalf against the Sharks and delivered some statement performances for the Springboks in that position before being injured during the international season, he is also well traveled as an inside centre and has actually played that position for more for the Stormers than he has pivot.
“He’s ready, it is just a matter of us being brave and being prepared to back him. If an opportunity presents itself I am sure he will do well, he is a good player,” said Hlungwani. Ditto Springbok tighthead Frans Malherbe, while Deon Fourie’s return to action has been slated for the 21 December URC derby against the Lions in Cape Town.
