Stars go head-to-head in Champions Cup

These world-class players could go come up against each other in the Investec Champions Cup round of 16 this weekend. Ignacio Brex vs Damian Willemse Toulon will be hoping for some Stade Mayol magic for Stormers’ visit. If starting, two men who will be sure to bring their A-games are Ignacio Brex and Damian Willemse. The pair boast high rugby IQs, and Brex’s impressive linebreaks and strength in contact could come into direct competition with Willemse’s experience and expertise on the big stage. The Springbok is also more than capable across the backline including at fullback, so his versatility could come in vital at Mayol this Saturday. STATE OF EURO CUPS: Stormers, Bulls on collision course Tom Dunn vs Jamie George The battle of English heavyweights Bath and Saracens will not disappoint next Saturday, and it’s in the pack where things get really interesting. Experienced hooker Tom Dunn has been on fine form this season, providing a pillar of stability to the Bath front line. His three scores from four in the Investec Champions Cup, and lineout reliability, mean he’s the complete package too. Saracens’ Jamie George could be lining up to face Dunn, as the England international makes the shift back to the club scene. His experience speaks for itself, while his lineout and maul expertise could prove vital at The Rec. PLAY: Investec Champions Cup game centre Thomas Ramos vs Louis Rees-Zammit There’s a potentially fascinating battle of the backs to watch out for in France as Toulouse host the Bristol Bears. It’s the different styles on show that promise to ignite this Saturday’s matchup, as Thomas Ramos’ expert kicking and cool head could come up against Louis Rees-Zammit’s lightning pace and high-ball expertise. VOTE! Investec Player of the Year Ramos, who is one of the Investec Player of the Year nominees, resumes the competition as the current highest point-scorer (53), and fresh off the back of France’s spectacular Six Nations triumph. As for Rees-Zammit, he’s excelled in his new position since being shifted back from the wing and the knockouts provide the perfect chance to prove himself further on the big stage.

Wessels calls for poaching payback

SA Rugby high-performance GM Dave Wessels has called for compensation for talent-exporting unions after reports Ireland are targeting an Australian prop. According to Codesports.com, Massimo De Lutiis is weighing up a “life-changing” offer from the Irish RFU as they seek to bolster their tighthead stocks. The 22-year-old, currently on the Reds’ books, qualifies for Ireland through his mother’s side of the family. “This is crazy stuff,” Wessels tweeted. “Rugby needs a better model to compensate countries that are exporters of talent – similar to what Fifa has. “At the moment the farmer who has spent years fattening the cow doesn’t get a cent when the cow goes to the abattoir … doesn’t work for farming. Can’t work for rugby.” Wessels has also been vocal on social media about Ireland recruiting young South African talent. When Bishops utility back Rynard Gordon joined Ulster’s academy, he quipped: “We must get the @IRFURugby a Loyalty Shopper Rewards card!”, referring to the fact that former Rondebosch and SA U18 flank Josh Neill linked up with Leinster’s academy earlier this year and has since represented Ireland U20. ALSO: Wallabies dealt brutal Skelton blow De Lutiis, who has represented Australia A, was included in a Wallabies training camp by coach Joe Schmidt in January, before he’d featured for the Reds. Ironically, Australia’s first Test in 2026 is against Ireland in Sydney on 4 July. Photo: Joe Allison/Getty Images The post Wessels calls for poaching payback appeared first on SA Rugby magazine.
