Declan Kidney, the director of rugby for the London Irish, has picked his team to face the Stormers on January 15 in Round 3 of the Heineken Champions Cup.

The match begins at 15:00 (SA time).

In the front row, Will Goodrick-Clarke, Mike Willemse, and Lovejoy Chawatama are joined by Api Ratuniyarawa and Rob Simmons.

Juan Martin Gonzalez and Tom Pearson are the flankers, while team captain Matt Rogerson wears the No. 8 jersey.

Ben White and Rory Jennings form the pairing at halfback, while Benhard van Rensburg and Luca Morisi join up in the centres.

The back three is comprised of Ollie Hassell-Collins, Lucio Cinti, and Ben Loader.

“We are excited to welcome the Stormers to Brentford on Sunday, the first South African side that we have ever hosted,” said Kidney.

“Our trip to Cape Town showed the level of opposition that the Heineken Champions Cup pits you against, and that is the standard that we have to hold ourselves against.

“Before the New Year we had a lot of away trips to contend with, but Sunday is our third home fixture in a row this year. We enjoy playing in front of our supporters and want to put in a performance that they will be proud of.”

After two matches, the Stormers are now sixth in Pool B, while the London Irish are eleventh.

  1. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team. At the Lucas Moripe Stadium, they will host Chippa United to open the 2022–23 DStv Premiership season on August 7 at 17:30.
