Stormers scrumhalf Imad Khan will look to solidify his exciting halfback combination with Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu in their URC quarter-final against Cardiff on Saturday afternoon.

The Stormers could look to their exciting halfback partnership of Imad Khan and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu to guide them through Saturday’s United Rugby Championship (URC) quarter-final against Cardiff in Cape Town.

In play-off rugby, that cohesion between the scrumhalf and flyhalf is often the difference between a side controlling the contest or chasing it.

On Saturday, the home team will be desperate for Khan and Feinberg-Mngomezulu, two former Bishops schoolboys, to impose themselves early on Saturday afternoon at the DHL Stadium (3.30pm kick-off), especially against a Cardiff side expected to rely heavily on disrupting them at the breakdown and tackle area.

There is already a natural understanding developing between the two young playmakers, something Khan believes has been built steadily throughout the season. They played one game together during their school years, but according to the nippy No 9, they are gradually getting on the same wavelength.
