Nic White

Brumbies scrumhalf Nic White has arrived in Cape Town ahead of Saturday’s clash against the DHL Stormers at Newlands.

The Brumbies flew into South Africa on Monday ready for a big week in the Cape, the Stormers preparing to right the wrongs of last week after falling to the Toyota Cheetahs.

White returns for the Stormers match this weekend after 3 weeks out, his ankle injury now firmly beaten.

He said the Stormers presented the Brumbies with a significant challenge.

“We haven’t managed to win over here since 2010, it’s a very hostile environment and the crowd always plays a part,” White said.

“They’re in a very similar situation to us, having come off a tight loss to a domestic rival so they’ll be right up for the game on Saturday.”

The Brumbies start their 2-game tour against the Stormers, before heading to Johannesburg to face the Emirates Lions next weekend.

Brumbies touring squad: JP Smith, Stephen Moore, Ben Alexander, Jordan Smiler, Sam Carter, Scott Fardy, David Pocock, Ita Vaea, Michael Dowsett, Christian Lealiifano, Joe Tomane, Robbie Coleman, Tevita Kuridrani, Henry Speight, Jesse Mogg, Josh Mann-Rea, Allan Alaalatoa, Ruan Smith, Blake Enever, Jarrad Butler, Nic White, James Dargaville, Nigel Ah Wong, Rod Iona, Rory Arnold, Sean Doyle.
