DHL Stormers rookie Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is roaring to go when they take on the London Irish in the Heineken Champions Cup at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu is back in the Stormers squad that will journey on a two-match tour of the United Kingdom.

The 20-year-old has already captained the Junior Springboks, made his Vodacom United Rugby Championship debut for the DHL Stormers and toured Europe with the senior national team.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu is now relishing the chance to represent the Stormers and showcase his talent on their tour of the UK.

“I think as a professional in any environment it’s tough to come back from injury and start challenging guys again,” he said. “Whether you like it or not, the rust does pick up and the match intensity fitness you’ve worked towards does take a bit of a dip.

“But that’s what’s so beautiful about the process, because it’s a proper dog fight that starts from within and there’s nothing better than coming back and pushing guys you love working with.”

The DHL Stormers claimed a 34-14 win over the Premiership outfit in round two in Cape Town in December, but Feinberg-Mngomezulu expects a tougher task in London.

“London Irish are a quality outfit and playing any side away from home always presents a different challenge,” he added.

“It’s a challenge that we are more than capable of taking by the neck and I expect nothing less from the boys that run out on the weekend. We’re still learning and adapting to northern hemisphere conditions and I only see the performances going upwards from here on out.

“It’s going to be a cracker!”
