Leinster's Nienaber returns to SA primed to finally win over last of the Irish doubters

By all accounts, Jacques Nienaber's return to South Africa has been a relatively quiet affair.

There had been speculation initially that the Springboks' World Cup-winning former head coach would only arrive by the end of the week to help Leinster prepare for their URC meeting with the Stormers in Cape Town next weekend.

That would have been in keeping up the Irish heavyweight's previous arrangement of interchanging their coaches on a weekly basis on SA tours as a measure to prepare for their customary tilt at a URC-Champions Cup double.
