The Stormers will get a much-needed boost ahead of their four-match Vodacom URC European tour, with some big names making their way back into the squad.
Stormers coach John Dobson has confirmed on Wednesday that he will have three Springboks available to him as they head off on tour next week. Scrumhalf Cobus Reinach, flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and fullback Damian Willemse will link up with the squad upon completion of their international duties against Argentina at Twickenham on Saturday.
“Credit to them for wanting to join us as soon as possible,” Dobson said.
“Especially after what should hopefully be the high of winning the Rugby Championship on Saturday afternoon. It’s quite nice for a coach when you watch your flyhalf play like that and then knowing that he’s coming back here.”

Dobson also confirmed that some of his injured Boks like lock Salmaan Moerat, prop Ntuthuko Mchunu and flank Deon Fourie will also be back during various stages of the overseas tour.
The Stormers kick-off their tour in Wales against the Scarlets on 10 October, followed by a double-header in Italy against Zebre and Benetton. The competition then pauses for just over a month after which the Cape side will then wrap up their overseas leg against former champions Munster at Thomond Park on 29 November.
