The Stormers can look forward to the return of flying wing Seabelo Senatla as the former Blitzbok returns from a long-term injury.Senatla hasn't played for the Cape-based franchise since September due to a pectoral muscle injury, and he is eager to get back onto the field."I am definitely keen to get going again," Senatla told the Stormers website."The four-month layoff came at an awkward time as I was feeling really good."The thought of having to start again was discouraging, but we eventually got into it, and I'm fully fit now."READ | Speedster Zas extends Stormers contract by 3 yearsSenatla said the injury allowed him to spend time with his family, but he was looking forward to returning to the field with his teammates."The timing of the injury allowed a lot of family time during the December period, which was one of the positives from this setback," he said."I'm happy to make my comeback, I really missed the game, as well as the team."His return is well-timed, with Leolin Zas currently injured and Damian Willemse rested as per Springbok protocols."We have a couple of injuries in the back three at the moment, so my return gives a couple of options to the coaches," he explained."We [still] have a couple of regular season games to try and string back the form we had from last year."It's been a bit disruptive with guys being injured, making it difficult to build consistency.

With that, it's a bit easier to string together a couple of good performances as guys get cohesive and fluid. That type of gelling allows players to express themselves because you're performing from a place of instinct, and nothing is forced."Special things can happen when you get into that space," he added.The Stormers return to action this week
