Coach John Dobson believes flyhalf Kade Wolhuter will take “the first step” to reaching his immense potential when the DHL Stormers and Scarlets lock horns in Cape Town on Friday.

Making his first appearance of the 2022-23 Vodacom United Rugby Championship, Wolhuter will partner Paul de Wet at halfback in a much-changed lineup for the defending champions at Cape Town Stadium.

The 21-year-old playmaker was tipped as one of the players to watch come flying out of the blocks for the Capetonians in 2020, before a serious knee injury interrupted his progress and ruled him out of rugby for the best part of a year.

Speaking at a Stormers media conference on Thursday, Dobson told reporters: “Kade has come back for the Stormers after a big injury and it’s a big moment for him, it was a much more dramatic injury than first thought. Hopefully tomorrow is the first step for him and we’re all proud of him.
