Stormers scrumhalf Imad Khan is gearing up for a first URC quarter-final match alongside star flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu against Cardiff on Saturday in Cape Town.
Stormers rookie scrumhalf Imad Khan is bracing for his biggest challenge yet on senior level ahead of the United Rugby Championship (URC) quarter-finals against Cardiff on Saturday in Cape Town.
The youngster looks set to take up a starting role in the absence of World Cup winner Cobus Reinach and will be one of the Cape side’s game drivers alongside flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and fullback Damian Willemse at the DHL Stadium (3.30pm kick-off).
Khan has been the go-to No 9 over the last couple of games for the inaugural champions, and although things didn’t go according to plan overseas in the final league matches, they are deadset on rectifying their shortcomings.
The 22-year-old will embrace the occasion and wants to make use of the learnings from guys like Reinach, Dewaldt Duvenage and Stefan Ungerer to help steer the Stormers’ ship.
