The Boks Office panel — Schalk Burger, Jean de Villiers and Shimmy — were emphatic that the Stormers' 52-point win over Glasgow was their most complete performance in a long time, driven by scrum dominance, a settled lineout and Damian Willemse's long-overdue move to 15. Jean argued the result is a confidence reset that makes Ulster away genuinely winnable, whereas two or three weeks ago that would have looked unlikely. The bigger concern the panel flagged was Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu's late-game knee injury: Jean made the case that without him, the Stormers lack the control to play expansive rugby, with Emile van Heerden better suited to a management role alongside Yuri Muler. The Benetton-Leinster upset also came up as a pivotal swing — it handed the Stormers breathing room at the top and kept Glasgow's top-of-log hopes alive heading into their final two home games.
