Skosan, who played in 12 Test matches for the Springboks in 2017, did not play in the Stormers’ subsequent game against the Glasgow Warriors. However, he has shown to be an invaluable member of head coach John Dobson’s team, adding a wealth of knowledge to an exciting and youthful Stormers backline.

The 32-year-old finisher, who has an abundance of speed, is eager to contribute to the Stormers, who are trying to get back on track after suffering a setback against the Warriors.

Regarding his debut trip, he told the Stormers’ official website, “Getting an opportunity to represent the jersey and the city of Cape Town was special.” I’m appreciative that the boys made it special for me.

“Our backline and style of play are enhanced by my game. When it comes to how we envision and desire to play rugby, we think alike. It is enjoyable to me. The absurd thing is that we are expanding every week. That’s usually encouraging.

Skosan praised his team’s tenacity in the face of the Warriors and is optimistic that they will improve for their next game on Saturday in Treviso against Benetton.

“Each match in this competition is challenging, especially when you’re playing opponents away from home,” he remarked. “We simply had some bad luck with some of the calls and opportunities we had in the second half.”

We’re going to get better from now on. We are aware of our capabilities as we engage in our game.

Skosan emphasized the value of adjusting to their environment while maintaining concentration during their European tour.

“In Europe, things are shifting every day. Our main goal for this week is to improve our performance and concentrate on the things we can control on the field, the player stated.

“Benetton is a high-caliber team, and you should appreciate that.” This weekend is the next step for us; we know where we want to go. Our only thought is to perform to the best of our abilities.

Facing unbeaten opponents

Together with table-toppers Connacht and reigning champions Munster, their Italian opponents are one of just three unbeaten sides remaining in the URC after three games. They are also riding high following a thrilling tight victory at home against the Lions.

Skosan went on, “They are a very well-coached team.” “We’ve examined their strategy and will make sure we’re covered.”

“over us, the most crucial thing is to concentrate on implementing what we have been working on nonstop over the past several months.

“We’ll do everything in our power to ensure that we give ourselves the best chance of achieving the intended outcome.”
