Stormers assistant coach Rito Hlungwani has highlighted the importance of their recent Champions Cup experience against La Rochelle as valuable preparation for their upcoming clash with Toulon in Gqeberha this Saturday. Toulon, like La Rochelle, is known for its physical style of play, which has historically posed challenges for South African teams. Toulon, three-time Champions Cup winners, are expected to bring a similarly aggressive and powerful game, particularly with their large forward pack.
Hlungwani emphasized that while Toulon presents a significant challenge, the Stormers are prepared to match their physicality. He stated, "We will have ways of trying to exploit their size and fighting fire with fire in terms of their physical approach." The coach assured that the team has thoroughly analyzed Toulons tactics and is confident in the plan theyve devised. Now, the key is to execute it effectively on match day. With the intensity of the upcoming encounter, the Stormers are ready to face a tough battle but are determined to rise to the challenge.
