I Was Embedded With the Stormers for 48 Hours – And It Blew My Mind! A Harry Jones Exclusive!

For Harry Jones, this week inside the Stormers environment carried a quiet emotional weight. Invited to embed with the team, he travelled from Dallas not entirely sure the invitation was real, joking at one point that it might be an elaborate practical joke. A lifelong Stormers supporter, the opportunity also allowed him to quietly mend a few important bridges. What he found was a rugby team defined by humility, shared responsibility, and quiet leadership. The culture feels lived in rather than performed, with leadership dynamics and player development happening subtly, far from the public eye.

Alongside that energy sits MW Welman’s reflective tone. As Harry describes a team drawing closer together, MW can’t help but notice his beloved Bulls slipping into real trouble, though that story deserves its own space. This episode explores the Stormers’ team culture, trust and respect, cohesion, and the environment that allows winning rugby teams to thrive. It is a rare insight into professional rugby, team building, and the storytelling that surrounds one of South Africa’s most respected rugby organisations.
