Ntuthuko Mchunu's move from the Sharks to the Stormers looks increasingly shrewd. The loosehead — who was stuck behind Ox Nche at Kings Park — has been one of the standout performers in this URC season, scoring three tries in recent weeks and picking up man of the match against Glasgow. Dobson is unambiguous about where he thinks this leads: Mchunu is pushing for Springbok selection and, in Dobson's words, is going to be 'a star for South African rugby for some time to come.' The piece also flags a complication — overseas clubs are circling, and the Stormers know they may struggle to keep him. For Bok selectors, it's a timely reminder that a quality loosehead option has emerged beyond the established pecking order.
