No fireworks needed ... Stormers should back their current winning formula

WHILE Stormers fans will be hoping to see some flair from their team in their second United Rugby Championship tour match against Zebre tomorrow, it may be wiser for the unbeaten log leaders to stick to the recipe that has worked so far.

In the absence of their playmaking stars — Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Damian Willemse, and Warrick Gelant — the Cape side adopted a more conservative approach at the start of the tournament.

So far, it has paid off. Even with the return of Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Willemse for their first overseas match, they didn’t stray too far from that script.

Now that the duo has settled back into the side and is preparing for their second match at Parma’s Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi (8.45pm kickoff), the temptation to run the ball more will certainly be there.

But they must guard against it, knowing that the Springboks will soon depart again for the November Tests.
