LIFE keeps getting better for the unbeaten Stormers, who return to South Africa from their heroics in Bayonne to a massive boost in the form of three influential Springboks.

- MIKE GREENAWAY

Damian Willemse, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, and Cobus Reinach are fit, fresh and eager to slot into the team for this weekend’s crunch Champions Cup clash with La Rochelle in Gqeberha.For the match against Bayonne, Stormers coach John Dobson used two Boks who were on the November tour — Ben-Jason Dixon and Ntuthuko Mchunu — while Zachary Porthen was with the team in France but not selected.

Dobson was thrilled with his relatively inexperienced team’s gutsy 26-17 comeback win over Bayonne, who had not lost a home game in two years.

“The first half was great - tactically really good,” he said. “They started really fast and put us under pressure, but we defended very well.
