Snyman: Stormers 'capable of more' despite injuries
Cape Argus
|October 16, 2025
YOUNG Stormers prop Zachary Porthen could be in for the biggest scrummaging test of his burgeoning career on Saturday in Parma.
The 21-year-old may come up against seasoned Italian internationals should he be promoted to the starting lineup for the United Rugby Championship (URC) clash against Zebre at the Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi.
With three of their first-choice tight-heads sidelined through injury, Porthen is set to play a vital role in the team’s second tour match. The Stormers began their campaign strongly with a 34-0 victory over the Scarlets last weekend.
However, tighthead Sazi Sandi was a casualty from that game, limping off due to a foot injury. The Stormers have since confirmed that scans showed no serious damage, though it is unlikely he will be pushed to feature on Saturday evening (kickoff 8.45pm).
