Stormers set for Bok boost
INJURY UPDATE: The Stormers are optimistic about the return of a key Springbok heading into the business end of the United Rugby Championship and Champions Cup.
Scrumhalf Cobus Reinach could return sooner than expected, Stormers Director of Rugby John Dobson confirmed on Sunday following their narrow 29-21 win over the Dragons.

“Cobus [Reinach] will be back much sooner than we thought,” Dobson said.
“I think he might be ready for Toulon [Champions Cup] in two weeks.
“He’ll definitely be back the following week against Glasgow Warriors.”
Reinach underwent surgery for a groin hernia injury early in February.
On the negative front, wing Seabelo Senatla suffered a calf injury against the Dragons and will be out for an unknown period of time.
Dobson, however, confirmed that lock Ruben van Heerden will return in the near future, as the Stormers aim to finish the regular season in the top two of the URC.

“Our roster is nice now; it is a pity about Seabelo [Senatla], but we have Dan [du Plessis] back.
“Hopefully Seabelo isn’t out for too long, Ruben [van Heerden] is coming back soon, and a few more guys will be back soon.
“We probably have a much better injury roster than we had a month or two ago.”
