Leolin Zas brings up Stormers century as John Dobson bloods four debutants for Connacht
Stalwart wing Leolin Zas will mark a century of appearances for the DHL Stormers against Connacht in Galway, as John Dobson hands debuts to four players for their URC season opener.
Wing Leolin Zas, who played his 100th match for Stormers, will lead the team in their United Rugby Championship opener against Connacht in Galway. Four debutants, including Riley Norton, Andre Warner, Ezekiel Ngobeni, and Vernon Paulo, are expected to make their Stormers debuts at the Dexcom Stadium. John Dobson, Stormers' Director of Rugby, expressed excitement for the newcomers and the experienced players who will be part of the team.
Dobson has decided to sit out Ben-Jason Dixon and Ntuthuko Mchunu to give them ample opportunity to recover from a demanding schedule. The team will need a full effort from all players to secure a win in Galway, given the difficulty of the venue.
