Stormers star in line for top award but Glasgow await

THE Stormers travel to Glasgow for their United Rugby Championship (URC) quarter-final on Friday night, with fly-half general Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu one of three nominees for South Africa's URC Player of the Season award.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu, along with Bulls bruisers Cameron Hanekom and Wilco Louw, has been highlighted for outstanding form throughout the campaign.

The award is significant, as voting included input from the Springbok coaching team, the four South African franchises, and selected media representatives.

Since returning from injury, Feinberg-Mngomezulu has played a pivotal role in lifting the Stormers from the lower reaches of the URC table to a fifth-place finish.

The Cape side head to Glasgow for their play-off with most of their firepower intact — though Damian Willemse is suspended — and with Feinberg-Mngomezulu marshalling the troops, they stand a good chance of upsetting the defending champions and advancing to the semi-finals.
