Gavin Rich profiles Ntuthuko Mchunu's breakout URC season, and the central argument is simple: his coach thinks there's still significant improvement to come, which is a genuinely alarming prospect for future opponents. Mchunu earned back-to-back man-of-the-match awards at DHL Stadium, dismantling Cardiff's tighthead Keiron Assiratti so thoroughly in last weekend's quarterfinal that Assiratti was yellow-carded, then forced off injured — with Assiratti's replacement later sin-binned too. Rich traces the arc of a player who only arrived at the Stormers this season after injury delayed his start, converted from loose forward to loosehead on Sean Everitt's suggestion, and who is now drawing Beast Mtawarira comparisons. With just three caps and a Springbok return disrupted by injury, the piece makes the case that Mchunu's international window is very much open — and that the most dangerous version of him is still ahead.
