14 JC Mars:<\/b> Thrown into the starting XV following the late withdrawal of Seabelo Senatla and made a good account of himself. Like the rest of the Stormers backs, he has been given license to express himself and did so at times. He had precious few opportunities, though. 6<\/b><\/p>\n
13 Ruhan Nel (c):<\/b> It\u2019s no coincidence that the Stormers\u2019 resolute defence has coincided with Nel\u2019s return to full fitness. Zebre couldn\u2019t get around the midfielder, who was strong with the ball in hand, too. He rarely has a poor outing and didn\u2019t produce one in Parma either. 7<\/b><\/p>\n
12 Damian Willemse:<\/b> The top ball carrier for the Stormers in Parma, as he used his fleet-footwork to get over the gain-line. He mixed that up well with his distribution in the dual playmaking threat with Feinberg-Mngomezulu and fronted up defensively, too. Like many of the backs, he was far from box-office but far from poor. 6<\/b><\/p>\n
11 Leolin Zas:<\/b> Starved of possession, but that was not helped by his lacklustre aerial performance. He conceded five turnovers in total, the most in the fixture and missed two tackles. 3<\/b><\/p>\n
10 Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu<\/a>:<\/b> Another match-defining performance from the rising star playmaker. He scored two tries, converted three of his four attempts and threw a fantastic pass for Gelant\u2019s try. He was the momentum swing. 8<\/b><\/p>\n Zebre v Stormers: Five takeaways as \u2018confident\u2019 Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Springboks snub shine to overcome \u2018dogged\u2019 hosts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 9 Stefan Ungerer:<\/b> While he made a handful of errors and at times needed to stretch the Zebre defence more, it was an otherwise tidy performance from the number nine. 5<\/b><\/p>\n Leinster v Munster: Five takeaways as \u2018inspired\u2019 Jack Crowley serves up \u2018masterclass\u2019 ahead of Ireland versus All Blacks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Powerful pack performance<\/p>\n 8 Evan Roos:<\/b> His relentless work-rate was rewarded with the man of the match award. He gained more metres than any other forward in the fixture as he proved to be a tricky customer in the extremities and stayed on the right side of the referee\u2019s whistle. Rassie Erasmus continues to overlook the number eight despite the concerns in the position, and while this was not an earth-shattering shift, it was a strong one. 7<\/b><\/p>\n 7 Ben-Jason Dixon:<\/b> Part of a dominant pack performance. Dixon is simply a grafter and an effective one. A glue type of forward, and that\u2019s what he produced. 6<\/b><\/p>\n 6 Paul de Villiers:<\/b> Grabbed a try, pestered Zebre\u2019s breakdown and was effective in generating quick ball for the Stormers\u2019 attack. One of his team\u2019s leading tacklers when he was on the park too. De Villiers has taken to the URC<\/a> like a duck to water and is yet to have a poor game this season. 7<\/b><\/p>\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Player-Ratings-key1-1024x576.jpg\")
