Stormers to fuel up on Brannas?
12/17/2024 03:00 AM
Veteran Deon Fourie is reportedly one of four Springboks set to return to action for the DHL Stormers against the Lions when the teams clash in the Vodacom URC on Saturday.
According to a report by Netwerk24, Fourie, Ben-Jason Dixon, Frans Malherbe and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu will boost the Stormers for the SA derby at Cape Town Stadium.
The 38-year-old Fourie’s return, after eight months on the sidelines with a knee injury, promises to inject critical experience into the team’s breakdown capabilities.

While the Stormers suffered a heavy defeat to Harlequins in the Investec Champions Cup last week, the potential Bok reinforcements offer boss John Dobson a glimmer of hope.
Malherbe’s return at tighthead prop, Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s match-winning potential at flyhalf and Dixon's work rate could transform the Capetonians’ fortunes.
Dobson, though, faces a tough call in the second row, where locks Salmaan Moerat, JD Schickerling and Ruben van Heerden are battling for a starting berth.
