Ben Lam signs for Bordeaux-Begles from Hurricanes
Top 14 leaders Bordeaux-Begles have agreed a two-year deal with Ben Lam, who will join from the Hurricanes at the end of the campaign.
Hurricanes wing Ben Lam will leave the Super Rugby side to join Top 14 club Bordeaux-Begles at the end of the season.
Former New Zealand Sevens star Lam will arrive at Bordeaux – who currently lead the Top 14 – as a replacement for Fiji international Semi Radradra, who will join the Bristol Bears for the 2020-21 campaign.
The 28-year-old Lam, who played for the All Blacks’ Sevens team between 2012 and 2016, joined the Hurricanes from fellow Super Rugby side Blues in 2017.
He has been a regular for the Hurricanes but his form has not propelled him into the All Blacks squad.
Lam scored 54 tries in 84 games during his international sevens career and has signed a two-year deal with Bordeaux, the French club announced.

Champions Cup
When it gets tight, Pollard still rises above the noise
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu may be the future and Manie Libbok remains a factor, but Handre Pollard still owns the biggest moments.
The timing in form and fortune from Handre Pollard is perfect for the Bulls and Boks. Pollard is the key to the Bulls beating Glasgow in the last 16 of the Investec Champions Cup.
Handre Pollard perfect for Bulls and Boks
Handre Pollard, a back to back World Cup winner, and the holder of the most points in World Cup final history, 34, will be critical to the Boks chase for an unprecedented third successive World Cup in Australia in 2027.
Pollard scored 22 points in the Boks 32-12 World Cup final win against England in Japan in 2019 and four years later he kicked all 12 points in the Boks 12-11 win against the All Blacks in France.
Right now, on the basis of the 2025 Test season, the Stormers No 10 Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, is the Bok incumbent, and Japanese-based Manie Libbok is also in the Boks squad.
But Pollard, used sparingly in the 2025 season, remains the big match, big moment clutch player.
When the pressure rises and the room gets tight, Pollard owns the space.
He will have to do so in Glasgow, when the high-flying Scots host the Bulls in the Investec Champions Cup last 16
This is not a debate about the value and worth of the brilliant Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu. Go quote Stormers coach John Dobson, Sacha is ‘a national rugby treasure’, nor is it a dismissal of Libbok.
This is about Pollard, too easily dismissed by those with recency bias and short-term memory.
The Bulls No 10 remains the best in closing a game, as was evident with his two long range penalties against Munster a week ago. The two clutch strikes ensured the Bulls played the frantic final few minutes with a single score lead.
Boks coach Rassie Erasmus never has to be reminded of the qualities of Pollard. It was Erasmus, who last year, kept on introducing Pollard’s name when the South African public was quick to forget there were three world-class No 10s in the Boks squad and not just Libbok and Feinberg-Mngomezulu.
The phrase “big players step up in big moments” is overused, but with Pollard it is accurate.
Play-off rugby is about territory, percentages, game management, accuracy and goalkicking.
Pollard delivers in every facet, as we witnessed in 2019 and 2023 on Rugby’s biggest international nights.
Keo, Zels and Bok legend Bryan Habana talk Investec Champions Cup last 16
The Stormers are second in the URC, have won 11 of 14 matches, and won three from four in the Pool stages of the Investec Champions Cup.
For them to win against Toulon at the Stade Mayol in Toulon, France, in the Investec Champions Cup last 16, it will require the combination of Feinberg-Mngomezulu and specialist No 10 Julie Matthee to produce the near perfect combined match performances.
It will also need the Stormers pack to at least match the hosts.
The Stormers scrum and line out is good enough to dominate any opponent.
Discipline will be non-negotiable but to continue the narrative of the week, both the Bulls and Stormers have the cattle to bring South Africa reward this weekend.

Champions Cup
South Africa’s Investec Champions Cup dream is alive
South Africa’s Investec Champions Cup dream is alive. The Bulls and the Stormers are 80 minutes away from giving South African rugby one of its biggest club moments in Europe.
South Africa’s Investec Champions Cup dream is alive. The Bulls and Stormers are 80 minutes away from giving South African rugby one of its biggest club moments in Europe.
It is there for them.
The equation is simple enough. The Stormers must beat Toulon at Stade Mayol. The Bulls must beat Glasgow in Glasgow. Do that, and South Africa gets an Investec Champions Cup quarter-final in Cape Town.
The opportunity is real because both teams travel with form, belief and ambition. The Stormers are second in the URC after 11 wins from 14. The Bulls are eighth, but close enough to the top five to underline how competitive they remain despite their uneven start. More importantly, both coaching groups have made it clear that Europe matters and that they are going north to win.
It will not be easy. Winning in France is never easy. Winning in Glasgow against Franco Smith’s well-drilled Warriors is one of the hardest assignments in club rugby at the moment. But South African rugby should not shrink from that challenge.
The Stormers do not have to beat the ghost of Toulon’s golden age. This is not the side of Wilkinson, Habana, Bakkies, Juan Smith and Joe van Niekerk. It is a good team, but not that team. Likewise, the Bulls know they are up against quality in Glasgow, but not invincibility.
Why Toulon are dangerous, but beatable
The biggest mistake the Stormers can make this week is to play Toulon’s history instead of Toulon’s present.
That jersey still carries weight and the Stade Mayol carries noise and intimidation. And for South Africans of a certain rugby generation, Toulon still triggers images of a Galactico side stacked with giants of the game.
But this is not that Toulon.
That team was rugby’s heavyweight collection of killers. This one is not.
That does not mean Toulon are soft. They still have quality, but this is not a team that should paralyse the Stormers with its reputation.
In fact, it is a game the Stormers should believe they can win.
There is also a psychological layer to Toulon’s season. If their Top 14 campaign is drifting, then Europe becomes the rescue act. French sides often make a call early. If the league matters more, they manage Europe accordingly. But when the domestic route tightens, the Investec Champions Cup becomes everything. That makes Toulon desperate, but it also makes them exposed.
The Stormers’ job is to strip the occasion of mythology and play the team in front of them.
If the Stormers get their set piece right, manage territory properly and convert pressure into points, this tie is there for them. The challenge is real, but so is the opportunity. Respect must not be confused with fear.
Bulls have the game to ambush Glasgow
The Bulls have enough to make this a very dangerous early evening for the hosts.
What has become clearer in recent weeks is that, aligned to the obvious power of the Bulls, they also have pace and control, and the combination is what gives them a puncher’s chance of doing real damage in Scotland.
World Cup winning flyhalf Handré Pollard brings composure and knockout temperament. World Cup winner Willie le Roux brings vision, tempo control and the sort of rugby intelligence that settles a team in pressure moments. Embrose Papier is thriving behind a forward pack that gives him front-foot ball, and when he sees space around the fringes he is still one of the quickest nines in the country.
Then there is the finishing speed. Cheswill Jooste’s recent score was a reminder that the Bulls are not just built to grind.
The other factor is momentum. The Bulls have recovered impressively from a poor start to the season. They have found more balance, more shape and more clarity under Johan Ackermann.
Glasgow should be favourites. They are at home, they are settled and they know how to win big games. But the Bulls have enough class, enough experience and enough edge to flip this tie.
Keo & Zels unpacked it on this week’s show, and the message was clear: this is real.
It starts with the Stormers in Toulon.
Keo touched on it, and Zels backed it the Stormers don’t need more magic. They need more control.

Cheswill Jooste is the STECO Hybrid Power Tool Hero of the Week
Cheswill Jooste is the STECO Hybrid Power Tool Hero of the Week, beating off some vintage performances from players in every South African United Rugby Championship Team.
Cheswill Jooste is the STECO Hybrid Power Tool Hero of the Week, beating off some vintage performances from players in every South African United Rugby Championship Team.
Zels, on the Keo & Zels Show, nominated his contenders.
ZELS:
Right. For the Lions, Nico Steyn had a big game, and I thought Quan Horn was outstanding too. Very hybrid player, involved in everything.
For the Sharks, not a vintage attacking performance, but Jurenzo Julius had good moments and there were some quality touches.
For the Bulls, that is probably where my winner comes from. Cheswill Jooste for that try. Just pure speed. Absolute exhibition stuff.
And for the Stormers, there were a couple. Ntuthuko Mchunu showed great pace for his try, and then I loved the one off the opposition scrum with Deon Fourie diving on the ball at the death.
Those are my main nominations.
KEO:
You have to look at the individual brilliance of some of those moments, but for me it has to come from the Bulls game.
There had to be something very special to beat what Nizaam Carr did last week, and there had to be something spectacular to top Handré Pollard winning a turnover in the sixth minute to deny Munster a try-scoring opportunity, and then banging over two clutch long-range penalties in the final quarter of the 34-31 win.
But what beats it? Pure gas. Jooste. That is athletics. Jake White used to say it all the time. Winners need pace. And when you watch Jooste score, it is like watching a guy run the bend in the 200 metres.
That was just out-and-out speed. Special player.
ZELS:
And the beautiful thing is that because of guys like Bryan Habana, Gio Aplon, Cheslin Kolbe and Kurt-Lee Arendse, we are not guessing anymore about whether that kind of pace translates at top level. We know it does.
And when you make 29 other professional players on the field look slow, you have got something serious.
KEO:
So there we have it. This week’s Ryobi Steco Hybrid Power Tool Hero on the show is Cheswill Jooste of the Bulls, and maybe soon of the Springboks too.

Investec Champions Cup last 16: Prem power, French flair & URC’s surge
Seven English Prem clubs headline the Investec Champions Cup last 16, but the URC’s rise, led by the Stormers and Glasgow Warriors, is redefining the race for Europe’s biggest club rugby prize.
The English Prem does it carry the global romance of France’s Top 14, but when it comes to substance, resilience, week-in, week-out brutality, it remains one of the toughest proving grounds in club rugby. And seven Prem clubs in the Investec Champions Cup last 16 makes the statement even stronger.
Prem depth, URC momentum and French power define Investec Champions Cup knockouts
The Top 14 has four clubs left in the play-offs and the United Rugby Championship has five, including South Africa’s Stormers and Bulls.
The Prem gets a lot of stick, especially in South Africa, but it is a power league and the English club challenge in the Investec Champions Cup is always strong.
The narrative has long been that the French Top 14 is the sport’s financial and cultural powerhouse, a league of global appeal, stacked with internationals from every corner of the rugby world. It is true because nearly half the league is made up of foreign talent but what the Prem lacks in glamour, it makes up with performance in Europe.
The Premier produces teams conditioned for knockout rugby. And this season, that edge has translated into European relevance, with seven clubs carrying England’s flag into the last 16.
The URC’s initial Champions Cup challenge was in Ireland’s Leinster, but this season Glasgow’s Warriors and the Stormers have made an even bigger statement than four-time champions Leinster.
Five URC teams in the knockout stages tells its own story of evolution, of South African influence, and of a competition that has hardened dramatically in the last three seasons.
At the centre of this are the Cape Town-based Stormers.
They have won three of four in the Champions Cup pool stages and 11 of 14 in the URC. Only the Glasgow Warriors have been better in the URC, and even that gap feels fragile given the Stormers’ balance between power and invention.
Glasgow’s URC and Champions Cup returns are the benchmark in the 2025/26 season, and they have matured from pretenders of in Europe to genuine title contenders, with their win at home against Toulouse in the pool stages one of the great nights of Champions Cup history.
France arrive at this weekend’s knockouts with fewer numbers but familiar menace.
Toulouse and Bordeaux are proper title contenders, and the bracket has guaranteed that one will reach the semi-finals. If both win at home in the last 16, as they should, then defending champions Bordeaux will host Toulouse in the last eight.
Bordeaux, brilliant in an unbeaten the Investec Champions Cup pool campaign, are the contradiction that defines French rugby.
Just 12 wins from 20 in the Top 14 suggests inconsistency, and vulnerability in depth, but in the Champions Cup, with their internationals available, they have been the most potent attacking force in the competition, with a set piece to match their terrific transition play.
Home advantage is massive in the Champions Cup. Historically, away play-off wins have been rare, but there has been enough evidence this season that what always seemed improbable, like travelling and winning in the last 16, is not to be dismissed on the evidence of history.
I sense a different history being written this weekend, one that favours form.

Stunning Stellenberg schools Grey College in historic win
Stellenberg’s class of 2026 are history makers. They have stunned South Africa’s schools rugby giants Paarl Gim and Grey College in the past fortnight.
Stellenberg’s class of 2026 are history makers. They have stunned South Africa’s schools rugby giants Paarl Gim and Grey College in the past fortnight in the most dramatic two victories.
Stunning Stellenberg on top of the world
The win against Paarl Gim came at home in the northern suburbs of Western Province, but it was at the traditional home of Bulls schools rugby, Affies, that the boys from Stellenberg got the prized head of Grey College, South Africa’s most consistent performing rugby school for the past 25 years.
Stellenberg, giant slayers a year ago, are now the giants.
In 2025 they beat all four traditional Western Province southern suburbs schools – Wynberg, Bishops, Rondebosch and SACS – and pushed Outeniqua to the brink. This year, it all came to fruition, first in the 20-19 win against Paarl Gim and then Grey College.
Photo by Ashley Vlotman/Gallo Images
The transformation, as outlined in reporting by Rugby365, didn’t happen overnight. Head coach Hein Molnar traces it back to around 2017, when the school shifted its ambition from being the best in the northern suburbs to competing with, and beating, the Western Cape’s traditional heavyweights.
SA Schools Rugby is prospering.
The strategy was clear: build depth, not just a first XV.
Stellenberg invested heavily in their pipeline, prioritising development from U14 level through to U19. Instead of chasing talent with bursaries, they focused on retaining local players and offering a comparable rugby experience to the big-name schools. Crucially, they strengthened coaching structures across all teams, appointing specialist forwards and backline coaches throughout the system.
The result? A programme that now fields 21 teams and produces players conditioned to compete at the highest level.
Equally important has been continuity. Key coaching figures have remained in place for years, creating consistency in philosophy and standards. That stability, combined with long-term planning, has driven a steady upward curve.
Garsfontein, who edged Stellenberg by a point a few days earlier, shocked Paarl Boys High 31-28 to complete a Western Cape double

Handre Pollard makes powerful Bulls & Boks statement
Handre Pollard converted the big moment penalty kicks to ensure the Bulls remain a United Rugby Championship play-off contender.
Handre Pollard converted the big moment penalty kicks to ensure the Bulls remain a United Rugby Championship play-off contender. Pollard made a powerful statement that he is integral to the Bulls title challenge and the Springboks 2027 World Cup defence.
Handre Pollard puts the boot into Munster
Pollard kicked two long range penalties in the final quarter that proved decisive in the Bulls 34-31 win against Munster at Loftus in Pretoria.
South Africa’s 2023 World Cup goal kicking hero, the scorer of all 12 points in the one point win against the All Blacks in the final, was used sparingly in the 2025 Springboks season. But be sure that Pollard remains massive to the Springboks and even bigger to the Bulls in their search for a first URC title after three losing finals in the league’s first four seasons.
The Bulls are eighth, well positioned to challenge for a top four finish when the URC resumes in the third week of April.
The Investec Champions Cup last 16 and last eight will be the focus in the first two weeks of April and Pollard will be pivotal to the last 16 match against Glasgow in Glasgow.
Keo’s Bulls Takeways
Potency in the scrum.
Ruan Nortje, the best lock in South Africa.
Embrose Papier, influential and brilliant at No 9.
Cheswill Jooste, the SA under 20 winger who will play for the Springboks this season.
Pollard, the master off the kicking tee, and all-round general.
Keo’s Lions Takeaways
The scrum
The composure
The defensive desire
The maturity in game management, courtesy of No 10 Chris Smith.
Quan Hỏrn, the most under appreciated fullback in South Africa.
Ruan Venter, he is the going to have a breakthrough international season.
The Bulls beat the Dragons 42-26, to be the first team to pass 400 points in the league this season.
The top five position is the best return after 14 rounds for the Lions in the history of the league.
Keo’s Stormers Takeaways
Evan Roos is the most consistent and best performing No 8 among the SA URC quartet.
Damian Willemse is good enough to play anywhere in the backline.
Scrum potency.
Paul de Villiers and Deon Fourie represent two generations, in age difference, among specialist flankers who play to the ball. In tandem, they could be the equal, in effectiveness, of George Smith and Phil Waugh for the Wallabies, when the Australians were world champions.
Individual brilliance and lethal transition play makes them a machine that can misfire for 65 minutes, only to turn a deficit into a 19 point win, as illustrated in the 33-14 win against Edinburgh in Cape Town.
The Stormers, with their 11th win of the league season, are second to Glasgow.
Keo’s Sharks Takeaways
JP Pietersen’s impact as head coach.
Andre Esterhuizen’s growth as captain and presence in the midfield.
Ox Nche and Vincent Koch’s power in the scrums.
The Sharks, thanks to Pietersen’s philosophy and approach, finally appreciating there is as much honour in making a tackle as there is glory in scoring a try.
Great mental resolves to beat Cardiff 21-15 and continue their league climb from 14th to 10th.

The Stormers have made Cape Town South Africa’s rugby capital
Stormers crowd attendance at DHL Stadium tells the real story. Cape Town is South Africa’s rugby capital and the numbers back it.
Cape Town is South Africa’s rugby capital – and the Stormers crowd attendance proves it. The numbers are bigger than any other club, and it goes beyond nostalgia and history. Newlands had 131 years to build its legacy and the DHL Stadium, in just five years, is producing bigger moments, bigger crowds and a stronger connection with the public.
Stormers crowd attendance: DHL Stadium, Cape Town numbers don’t lie
The Stormers moved homes from Newlands to Green Point in 2021, but significantly they have moved the market that speaks to an occasion more than it does a rugby match.
The Stormers have done it, post Covid, and in a competition that includes previously unfamiliar northern hemisphere club teams and playing some of their biggest derbies in late December and early January, a summer season peak that is incomparable in its challenge to anything experienced, season-wise, in Super Rugby’s history from 1996 to 2019.

In the history of the URC, across 85 league matches, the Stormers are the most successful South African side and second only to Leinster overall. They are also the competition’s most successful finals team, with one title and two home finals. The Bulls have reached three finals – two away and one at home – and have yet to win the title.
Different season, bigger Stormers crowd attendance Cape Town
Super Rugby’s February start meant Capetonians were never asked to show up at a stadium to support the Stormers in December and January, in the heart of summer, holiday and cricket season, but those months are integral to the URC league season, especially South Africa’s derby matches.
This is a significant difference between the old world of Newlands and the new order at the DHL Stadium in 2026.
Newlands delivered its biggest crowds in traditional rugby windows, and the Stormers of the past five years have had to do it in peak holiday summer seasons, which shows the enormous shift in audience behaviour.
The people of Cape Town care about the Stormers and the Stormers care about the people of Cape Town.
No other team in South Africa and no team in the URC, the Irish giants of Leinster and Munster included, can claim such consistently high stadium numbers over such a lengthy period of time.
And only Leinster, in the brief history of the URC as a league, have earned more points from wins, draws and losing bonus points than the Stormers.
Cape Town is also a banker whenever the Springboks play, be it at Newlands, pre-2019 or in the three Tests played, in front of crowds, in the past four years.

Bulls Finish. Stormers Create. Glasgow Lead
Bulls finish, Stormers create, and Glasgow lead the URC through balance and consistency.
The Bulls know the way to the try line, the Stormers know how to get close to the try line and Glasgow’s Warriors are the most complete and balanced team in the 2025/26 URC team stats.
URC Team Stats: Bulls, Stormers, Lions and Sharks Compared
The Warriors are the league leaders after 13 rounds, with 10 wins from 13 and a total of 50 points. The Stormers are second with 10 wins and 46 points, while the Bulls, despite scoring the most tries this season, are eighth with seven wins and 34 points.
The URC official Team Stats emphasise the potency of Franco Smith’s Warriors, who have also shown quality in squad depth to produce winning results in matches when stripped of their Six Nations internationals.
Smith, the former Springboks utility back and Cheetahs and Italian coach, has been a revelation at Glasgow. He, in partnership with South African-born winger and club captain Kyle Steyn, have been at the forefront of Glasgow’s growth into one of the best teams in Europe.
Glasgow, in the 2023/24 season, beat the Bulls at Loftus in Pretoria to win the third edition of the URC.
This season’s league showcases the Bulls try-scoring ability, exposes their charitable early season defensive form, and illustrates just how dominant the Stormers are in getting close to the opposition try line, but equally how impotent they are in converting those opportunities once in the 22 metres attack red zone.
The Stormers have had no issue in applying pressure, given they are second for entries into the opposition 22 (150), but it is their failure to convert this earned advantage into tries.
The Lions have gone big on volume and the Sharks, the lowest of the South Africa teams with an 11th place league ranking, are chasing consistency and a winning habit since JP Pietersen replaced John Plumtree as the Sharks coach.
The Glasgow Warriors lead the table and the key performance metrics, combining territory, possession and execution better than any side in the competition.
The Bulls know how to cross the try line, the Stormers are battling to find their way to the try line and the Warriors have married pressure and points scored to top the league.

Keo’s 10 Takeaways
-
The Bulls are the best finishers in the URC – first for tries scored (54).
-
The Bulls’ attack is built on momentum – second for metres gained (5611).
-
The Stormers are excellent at creating try-scoring pressure points – second for 22 entries (150).
-
The Stormers don’t always convert that pressure into points.
-
The Lions are the competition’s top scorers, with some big scores at home – first for total points (379).
-
The Lions’ game is built on tempo and attacking volume, Ellis Park’s fast pace surface, attitude & altitude.
-
The Sharks are outside the top tier across the key metrics, which is a reinforcement of their awful start to the season.
-
No South African team dominates the defensive categories because their attack has been stronger and they have won more than they have lost.
-
Glasgow lead the competition for metres gained (5873) and overall control metrics.
-
Glasgow and the Stormers are strong in very different areas, for example the Stormers kick volume and effectiveness compared to Glasgow’s. Equally Glasgow’s ball in hand game, but the reality is that both have 10 wins from 13 and the points differential is less three points on average a game.

Magical Mapimpi is the STECO Hybrid Power Tool Hero
Makazole Mapimpi needed a magical moment to beat Nizaam Carr’s outrageous kick assist for the Bulls in Round 13 of the URC to be named the STECO Hybrid Power Tool Hero of the Week.
Makazole Mapimpi needed a magical moment to beat Nizaam Carr’s outrageous kick assist for the Bulls in Round 13 of the URC to be named the STECO Hybrid Power Tool Hero of the Week.
Makazole Mapimpi Magic
Mapimpi, the Sharks winger, celebrated his 100th match in style, although it took him 78 minutes to produce the most sensational individual two minutes, with his reward being two tries of varying degrees of brilliance.
Mapimpi, the first Springbok to score a try in a World Cup final, bagged a double in the final stages of the Sharks 45-0 thumping of Ireland’s Munster.
The win was the Sharks’ third in their last four URC matches. The Sharks play Cardiff in Durban on Friday evening in Round 14.
On the Keo & Zels Rugby Show, Zels and I discussed the nominations and why Mapimpi got our nod.
ZELS:
That Stormers scrum absolutely obliterated the Dragons tight five, and Evan Roos was on hand to pick up and dive over. Sensational try. That’s a proper team try for me, with everyone involved. That’s the hybrid element, right? Power, but skill within it.
KEO:
You talk about hybrid. It is more like one tool doing many things. That Stormers pack did everything. From loosehead to tighthead, hooker, both locks, six, seven, eight. This was the full unit.
Then you look at the Bulls.
Nizaam Carr, Bishops old boy and former Stormers, has been outstanding. That kick-assist was sensational. That’s a footballer’s touch. Like a corner kick dropping onto the head of a striker. Perfect weight, perfect execution. Five points.
ZELS:
So you’re going with Carr?
KEO:
I was because I did not think anything or anyone would match it over the weekend because it takes something special to beat that for the STECO Hybrid Power Tool Hero of the Week.
And then, Sharks v Munster, 79 minutes played and enter Makazole Mapimpi.
He scores a try and everyone celebrates, “finally got one.” But look deeper. He didn’t see much ball. Worked relentlessly. It’s his 100th. He’s 35, looks 19. The physique, the engine…
He leaps high from he kick-off, takes it clean, lands, beats two, goes again; inside, outside and then those final five metres. Munster’s 10 comes across, makes the tackle attempt… Mapimpi finishes.
That’s the moment. That’s the one.
And the irony? He’s wearing 11. Andre Esterhuizen – the STECO ambassador – is at 12. And Mike Sharman from Retroviral, who work with STECO Ryobi, they’ve told Mapimpi’s story it’s on YouTube.
Go watch it.
Then I get a message from Richard Stevens, Marketing Head, Stevens & Co, saying how fitting it is: 11 and 12, powered by them STECO/RYOBI doing the business for the Sharks … and Mapimpi delivers that.
Richard, there should be something in the post for Mapimpi, via courier.
ZELS:
I agree. Something powerful to keep powering him.

Sacha’s stats statement slays Dragons
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu slayed the Dragons in Cape Town and his match statistics emphasised his influence in the Stormers bonus-point win against Newport’s Dragons.
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu slayed the Dragons in Cape Town and his match statistics emphasised his influence in the Stormers bonus-point win against Newport’s Dragons.
Stormers v Dragons – United Rugby Championship
The Stormers 29-21 win was their 10th in 13 league starts and ensured they finished Round 13 in second place, four points off league leaders Glasgow, whom they play in Cape Town in April.
Stormers No 10 Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored the match’s opening two tries, which he converted for 14 points, but as memorable were a try-saving tackle late in the first half and second half defensive moment of mastery to deny the Dragons a further try. His points totalled 19, with three conversions and a penalty added to his two five-pointers, but the 14 points he saved, tells the story of his significance against the Dragons.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu made 13 kicks and 13 passes, claimed a line out win statistically from a quick throw and won a ruck turnover, one of just four for the Stormers in 80 minutes. He made seven tackles to complete a busy and big defensive afternoon.
On attack, he made the most metres in the match, with 78, beat three defenders, which was the second most of the match, carried the ball nine times and his three line breaks were the most in the match.
His 19 points took his league season tally to 81 points in his eighth match of the league. His URC career total is 17 tries, four drop goals, 30 penalties and 47 conversions, for 281 points. He has started 27 of 44 URC matches.
He has played four Investec Champions Cup matches and his overall Stormers record is 31 starts in 48 matches for 308 points, with 17 tries, four drop goals, 33 penalties and 56 conversions. He is 24 years-old.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu was named the 2024/25 South African Vodacom United Rugby Championship Player of the Year beating off Bulls prop Wilco Louw and Bulls loose-forward Cameron Hanekom for the prize.
The counter to those match-winning statistical returns against the Dragons, was a speculator pass to Damian Willemse that was not a good option and twice missing penalty kicks to touch. His four from six off the kicking tee has matched his league accuracy this season, which is 10 percent down on his 75 percent-plus career average as a goal kicker.

Stormers No 8 Evan Roos also enjoy a busy afternoon. He scored a try to take his league season tally to seven, but it was the balance in his attack and defence that was most telling. Roos carried 14 times, the most in the match, and made 11 tackles, which was the most from a Stormers player.

Mapimpi & Van den Berg gives Saffas 100 reasons to smile
Makazole Mapimpi & Morne van den Berg celebrated their 100th matches for the Sharks and Lions in style and triumphant. It made for a Super Saturday of rugby for Saffas as the Sharks and Lions both won against Munster and Edinburgh respectively in the United Rugby Championship.
Makazole Mapimpi & Morne van den Berg celebrated their 100th matches for the Sharks and Lions in style and triumphant. It made for a Super Saturday of United Rugby Championship action for Saffas.
Mapimpi, in his 100th match, scored two tries in the final two minutes of the 45-0 hammering of Munster in Durban.
The 35 year-old showed the pace of a teenager sprint sensation when outstripping the Munster chasers for his first try, scored in the 78th minute.
Then, remarkably, he lept into the Durban skies from the final restart of the match, landed open two feet, beat two defenders with a step, took off down the touchline, swerved inside, beat a defender, then outside and put on the afterburners to race the remaining 40 metres and finish a 70 metre solo-try with two Munster defenders on his back.
This was from a 35 year old in his 100th match. It was straight from a movie.
Earlier, Van den Berg, so good this season for the Lions, controlled the match in the No 9 jersey as the Lions, SA Shield winners, crushed Edinburgh 54-17. The Lions led 35-0 at halftime and scored eight tries to three.
Van den Berg scored a try to take his career tally for the Lions to 20.
The Lions scored eight tries to three, the Sharks six tries to nil and the Bulls, on Friday night, scored seven tries to one, to take the South African try-tally to 21-4 with the Stormers v Dragons on Sunday afternoon in Cape Town sure to add to the 21 tries.
For context, the travelling sides were without incumbent Six Nations regulars, which highlighted the depth issues when Test players are not available.
Still, it was statements made by the South African teams with five rounds of the league to play.
The Sharks remain 11th in the URC but they are now three wins from their last four league matches, having won just two from their first nine matches.

Papier in power performance as Bulls charge in URC
Bulls No 9 Embrose Papier responded to his omission from the Springboks alignment camp in the best possible way, with another Player of the Match performance in the URC.
Bulls No 9 Embrose Papier responded to his omission from the Springboks alignment camp in the best possible way, with another Player of the Match performance in the URC.
Papier was proper in the Bulls 40-7 win against Cardiff in the URC at Loftus, Pretoria, having been a late withdrawal a week ago against the Stormers a week ago.
The Bulls lost to the Stormers and Papier’s absence was obvious.
Against Cardiff he was at the heart of everything good about the Bulls attack, was individually decisive and composed, produced consistency in his kicking game management, electric pace for his try and was always a threat on the break, especially close to the fringes of the ruck.
Rassie Erasmus picked Papier for the Springboks in 2018, but it has been seven long years in-between drinks for the Bulls No 9.
In this time Erasmus, coach in 2018, Jacques Nienaber, coached between 2020 and 2023 and Erasmus, back as head coach from 2024, have relied on Faf de Klerk, Herschel Jantjies and Cobus Reinach to win the 2019 RWC and on De Klerk, Reinach, Grant Williams and Jaden Hendrikse to win the 2023 RWC.
Nienaber and Erasmus (National Director of Rugby) picked all four No 9s in the match 23 that beat Romania 76-0 at the World Cup. Reinach started at No 9, Williams started on the right wing and Hendrikse was the reserve No 9 and De Klerk the reserve No 10 and goalkicker.
In the 2024 and 2025 Test seasons, Lions No 9 Morné van den Berg played Test rugby and in Erasmus’s first Springboks alignment camp for 2025, earlier in March, SA under 20 World Championship winner Haashim Pead was included in a group of No 9s, while De Klerk and Jantjies were among the overseas-based players selected for a virtual alignment camp.
De Klerk, who spent a lengthy time on the sidelines because of injury, found form in scoring three tries for the Yokohama Canon Eagles’ 38-29 win against Dave Rennie’s Japanese League 1 log-leading Kobelco Kobe Steelers. He was named Player of the Match.
Jantjies has started nine of 15 matches for French Top 14 club Bayonne.
De Klerk has signed to return to South Africa and play for the Cheetahs after five seasons in Japan. Before Japan he played for Sale Sharks in Manchester, England, having made his Test debut when playing for the Johannesburg-based Lions.
In 2018 the then Bulls No 9 Ivan van Zyl and Lions No 9 Ross Cronje were also selected for the Boks.
Papier, a Bulls Centurion, has started 10 of 14 matches for the club this season, 11 in the United Rugby Championship and three in the Investec Champions Cup, and has scored six tries.
Papier made his Test debut in 2018. He has not played for the Boks again since 2018.
He is still just 28 years-old
SH Rugby Blog, back in 2018, asked if Papier was not trusted by Erasmus, given the minimal game time.

Bielle-Biarrey owns the Six Nations stats sheet
In the 2026 Six Nations, France winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey owned the stats charts. Nine tries, four assists and a presence across ten statistical categories tell the real story of France’s title.
The Six Nations 2026 stats sheet was owned by France’s magnificent left winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey, with teammate Thomas Ramos the best of the many support acts within the squad that won the Six Nations title.
Ramos, without comparison off the kicking tee, kicked a penalty after the final buzzer, to beat England 48-46 in Paris, and ensure France were not denied a second successive Six Nations title.

The win was France’s 10th European title (Five Nations/Six Nations) in the last 30 years.
France’s Five and Six Nations titles since professionalism began in 1996
| Year | Competition | Title type |
|---|---|---|
| 1997 | Five Nations | Winners |
| 1998 | Five Nations | Grand Slam |
| 2002 | Six Nations | Grand Slam |
| 2004 | Six Nations | Grand Slam |
| 2006 | Six Nations | Winners |
| 2007 | Six Nations | Winners |
| 2010 | Six Nations | Grand Slam |
| 2022 | Six Nations | Grand Slam |
| 2025 | Six Nations | Winners |
| 2026 | Six Nations | Winners |
*Grand Slam indicates an unbeaten tournament.
Six Nations 2026 stats
Bielle-Biarrey’s nine tournament tries in 2026 is a record, and he is the first player to score in every match in two successive Six Nations campaigns. He has 18 Six Nations tries in 14 matches, with retired Ireland centre Brian O’Driscoll’s Six Nations record of 26 tries having come in 65 matches.
His strike rate is unmatched at Test level, with 29 tries from 27 Test matches.
Bielle-Biarrey, supreme as a try-scoring finisher, was everywhere the game lived.
Top of the try charts. Among the leaders for metres made. Present in try assists. Leading initial breaks. High in metres per carry. Involved in attacking catch success. Even appearing in the kicking metrics.
Bielle-Biarrey, who played every minute of the Six Nations, featured in 10 categories.
His back three teammate Ramos was as good, in a different way. Ramos featured in eight categories: Carries, metres, offloads, assists and, crucially, points. Ramos missed just four kicks at posts in 32, for an 88% return. He was also the tournament’s leading points scorer and one of the busiest players on attack.
France No 10 Matthieu Jalibert, who played four of the five matches, was top of the offloads, try assist and in the top bracket for defenders beaten. Add in his kicking influence, in tandem with captain and scrum half Antoine Dupont, and Jalibert is prominent in seven categories.
If France owned the attacking narrative, Ireland’s No 12 Stuart McCloskey owned the gainline. Seven categories tell the story: carries, offloads, assists, defenders beaten, dominant contact, post-contact metres and turnovers. There was no cleaner or more complete midfield presence in the tournament. Every carry broke the initial wall and every collision advanced Ireland’s attack.
The little generals in Dupont and Wales’s Tomos Williams don’t dominate tries, but they dominate territory. Kicks in play, kick metres, box kicks, retained kicks meant both No 9s are leading contributors in six categories.
Italy’s mighty midfielder Tommaso Menoncello has a presence in six categories: Metres made. Defenders beaten. Initial breaks. Turnovers, Jakkals and Metres per carry. He was as consistent in his defence and attack and his Six Nations will be remembered for the try and try assist in Italy’s historic first win against England in Rome in Round 4.
England’s Ben Earl is the forward outlier. Leading carries. Leading post-contact metres. Dominant in contact. A four-category presence in a game that increasingly separates roles. He is the closest England has to a proper hybrid international player. Earl, best at No 8, can also play in the midfield.
Scotland’s versatile winger and Glasgow Warriors captain Kyle Steyn. The South African born former Stellenbosch University and Griquas star was a standout in defenders beaten, top tier in metres made and elite in metres per carry. Steyn enjoyed his most influential tournament, and was strong in Scotland’s wins against England and France at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.
