Damian Willemse to score a ton in play-off hunt

The double World Cup winner will celebrate his birthday on Wednesday and will hope to cap off the week with a victory when he brings up his century of games for the Cape side in their second-last United Rugby Championship (URC) round-robin match.

Since his injury return, Willemse, alongside Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, breathed a breath of fresh air into the attacking game plan of the inaugural URC champions.

He hopes they can continue with that running style on Saturday as they look to claim a place in the URC quarter-finals.

Willemse, Willemse, who made his debut at 18-years old, says he’s been privileged to receive opportunities from a young age at the Stormers.

He started his professional career in a side with current Springbok teammates Damian de Allende, Siya Kolisi, Cheslin Kolbe, Eben Etzebeth Pieter-Steph du Toit and Damian de Allende.
