Mchunu ready for more action

Stormers new recruit Ntuthuko Mchunu (above) finally made his long awaited debut last weekend, and after a solid showing against Bayonne, is now pumped up to back it up in their Champions Cup second round encounter against La Rochelle in Gqeberha on Saturday.

Mchunu signed for the Stormers from the Sharks, and made the move during the off season, but missed the start of their United Rugby Championship (URC) campaign through injury.

He would have been in line for his debut in their match against Munster at the end of last month, but was a late call up to the Bok squad for their final two tour games against Ireland and Wales.

He thus slotted straight into the Stormers match 23 on his return from national duty, came on in the 48th minute against Bayonne and put in a sprightly performance making a number of runs, tackles and impressed at scrum time.
