Watch: The Stormers breakout wing who is taking over the URC
By Sam Smith
Stormers left wing Leolin Zas has taken the United Rugby Championship by storm in 2021/22, with the Western Province product producing the most tries so far in the season.
The 26-year-old has bagged nine tries so far, including two against Ospreys on the weekend. He does not just possess finishing prowess but has shown incredible playmaking ability to manufacture tries out of nothing.
In his second effort against the Welsh club, he pulled off a 50-metre chip and chase over the top of fullback Dan Evans and got a dream bounce to score effortlessly.
Zas has the combination of power, speed, agility to go with his kicking skills which has made him a force on the Stormers edge this season.
The former South African under-20 rep came through the Stormers development system and made his debut for the club in 2016. It became a short lived stint there as the winger made the move to Durban with the Sharks.
His Sharks career never really got going with just five appearances over two years but his move back to the Cape in 2020 is starting to pay dividends as one of the form wingers in the URC.
The winger revealed recently that he wanted to quit rugby but has bounced back into career defining form with his former club.
Whether Zas' URC form will propel him to higher honours is a question mark as the man in front of him, Sharks wing Makazole Mampimpi, has been one of the game's premier finishers while Cheslin Kolbe when healthy is a lock on the other wing.
The Springboks selectors will be happy to see Zas in such form anyway, giving them an exciting prospect should they need to use the depth building in South Africa at the moment.

Qld really have three #4 locks and only one #5. Liam Wright is the best pure lineout caller at the club by a distance.
Go to commentsBeing an artist in New York, I rely heavily on online platforms to showcase and sell my work. One day, I was approached by a gallery claiming to offer international exposure for my art. They promised to feature my pieces in exhibitions and connect me with global buyers. Excited by the opportunity, I agreed to their terms, which included an upfront payment of $3000 to cover administrative fees. The gallery’s contact person stopped responding to my emails, and when I tried to visit their address, it turned out to be fake. I realized I had fallen victim to a scam. Feeling betrayed and frustrated, I didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I discovered Muyern Trust Hacker on ( Te le gram at muyerntrusthackertech ) I reached out to them, providing all the details I had: the gallery’s information, transaction records, and emails from the scammer. They worked tirelessly with international authorities to track the funds and initiate the recovery process. Within a few weeks, they successfully returned the $3000 to me. The relief I felt was overwhelming. Not only did I get my money back, but I also learned valuable lessons about verifying opportunities and being cautious with upfront payments. They are true professionals who go above and beyond to help their clients. Thanks to them, I can now focus on creating and sharing my art without the burden of losing hard-earned money to scammers. Here is their mail for efficient resolution: (muyerntrusted(@) ma il - me(.) c o m )
