A move to the Emirates Lions has coincided with Sanele Nohamba rediscovering the form that made him hot property as a rookie.
Nohamba was the driving force in the Emirates Lions’ revival last week, scoring 24 points as the Pride feasted on the Vodacom Bulls in the latest edition of the Jukskei derby.“Players like that, you need them to show special moments when you have your back against the wall, I thought Sanele was special,” Emirates Lions coach Ivan van Rooyen said after the 29-25 victory.
Nohamba was on fire for a Cell C Sharks team that had made an electric start to the 2020 Super Rugby season, making a big impact at the beginning of what was set to be his first full year as a senior professional. The Cell C Sharks topped the leaderboard and he seemed destined for a Springbok call-up, but a national lockdown slammed the brakes on the 2020 rugby calendar and parked his development.
When Nohamba returned to the Cell C Sharks, he was used sparingly, and the lack of game time eventually led to him swapping Durban’s shores for the inner city of Johannesburg. “I am loving Joburg, it’s my new home now,” he said after the match. “I love the people, I love the place. It has just been rejuvenating for me.
