Stormers flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu says he won’t change his all-out approach to the game despite the risk that comes with it.

In the Cape franchise’s last Vodacom URC outing, against Ulster in Belfast, the 23-year-old was yellow-carded for an off-the-ball charge on Ulster winger Rob Baloucoune just before half time.

It resulted it a big momentum shift as Ulster scored a try from the resultant penalty to level the score at 17-17, and went on to win the match 38-34.

“I think I am well on the way there [to learning from those mistakes],” Feinberg-Mngomezulu told the media at the Stormers’ High Performance Centre in Bellville on Wednesday.

“My job for any team I play for is to move the needle forward and that wasn’t one of my best moments. But I like to play the game at 100% and sometimes I am going to be on the edge. Of course you don’t get that yellow card if you have played a perfect game on the edge so I know that it cost the team and it isn’t a good look for Stormers rugby.

“But I want to keep giving 100% for the team and just not make those little mistakes. I want to mature my game so I stay on the right side of yellow cards but at the same time I don’t want to change my game or my competitiveness for the team.”

The Stormers are 10th on the URC log, but just one point outside the playoffs going into a four-match home run, which starts on Saturday against 13th-placed Connacht.

The Irish club has spoken this week about matching the Stormers’ running game while also backing themselves in the set-piece battle.

“We are ready for whatever comes down,” said Feinberg-Mngomezulu. “We have been noting their comments about fighting fire with fire. The nice thing about us is we have a good kicking game and we are good at transitions, we can also hold onto the ball and we can move the ball and attack in two or three phases.

“So whatever comes at us we should be ready for it. I am not spoiling their game plan, they are a multi-phase team and their kicking game is not their first priority. What I can say is we have been preparing really well for them this week.

“[Defence coach] Norman [Laker], our defence coach, is extremely alert [about other teams and their playing styles], and so is [attack coach] Dawie [Snyman], who is clued up about both attack and defence. So we are fully prepared for what they will bring and we are 100% ready.”
