Sacha, Stefan can make Stormers breathe fire once more

Cape Times

May 07, 2025

THE Stormers scored 56 terrific points in their last game against Benetton.

- ASHFAK MOHAMED

But a week is a long time in rugby ~ and they know it won't just be a case of continuing where they left off in Saturday's United Rugby Championship (URC) clash against the Dragons at Cape Town Stadium (6.15pm kick-off).

Coach John Dobson would have been delighted with the seven-try rout of the Italian outfit, and it provided the Capetonians with the ideal momentum at just the right time in their playoff race.

The Stormers are now sixth on the URC log with 45 points, and could still mathematically end fourth and secure a home quarter-final.

You would expect the Stormers to get the bonus-point job done against bottom-placed Dragons, but assistant coach Dawie Snyman is wary of dismissing the men from Newport's challenge, especially after a bye week.

Dobson may be tempted to give some of his star players, such as flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, fullback Warrick Gelant and No 8 Evan Roos a breather this weekend, and that would make sense as well.

Transforming Trump's G20 snub into a strategic advantage for South Africa

THE announcement by US President Donald Trump that South Africa will be “uninvited” from the 2026 G20 Summit is, at face value, a diplomatic provocation. But beneath the headlines lies a far more consequential opportunity: the chance for South Africa - with its business leadership at the forefront - to redefine its global narrative, champion multilateralism and strengthen its position as a bridge between the West and the Global South.
