🚨 SCARRA NTUBENI SAYS FAREWELL TO CAPE TOWN ⛈️
The DHL Stormers are losing a piece of their soul.
SCARRA NTUBENI, a man whose name is synonymous with the blue and white hoops, has confirmed that Saturday marks the end of an era. It will be his final home game at the DHL Stadium, closing a massive chapter that spanned the transition from the hallowed turf of Newlands to the modern stage of Green Point.
Ntubeni has been the heartbeat of the Western Province and Stormers scrum for over 15 years. He provided the grit and local flavor that Cape fans demand.
His departure isn't just about losing a veteran hooker; it is about losing institutional memory. Scarra remained loyal to the Cape through the lean years and the championship highs, embodying the resilience of the franchise.
While the URC era has seen new stars rise, Ntubeni remained the standard-bearer for what it means to play for the badge in the Mother City.
⸻
👉 Scarra is a legend of the Cape who stayed when others chased the yen, the euro, or the pound; he deserves every bit of the tribute coming his way. – Jay | JPS
⸻
The faithful will undoubtedly give him the standing ovation his loyalty deserves when he runs out one last time.
Rugby365 reports that the veteran front-rower is ready for the next step.
The gap he leaves in the locker room will be harder to fill than his space in the middle of the tunnel. He was the connector between the old guard and the new professional era.
Can the Stormers find another local stalwart with the same heart and longevity as Scarra?
✅ Yes, the academy is humming
❌ No, legends like him are rare

Shocking new MRI study on 3–5 year olds: Just 2 hours of interactive screen time per day is linked to measurable loss of white matter in the brain.
Professor Mike Nagel (University of the Sunshine Coast):
“White matter is myelin — it insulates axons like plastic on a wire. Deficits in myelin early in life mean deficits in neural connectivity.”
The more screen time, the greater the white matter loss — especially in areas tied to language development and literacy.
Nagel’s first reaction (as a researcher and father):
“Wow… I was not anticipating seeing anything like that. It hadn’t occurred to me that something as little as two hours a day was having such a profound effect.”
Parents: Has this changed how you think about screen time limits for young kids — or do you think the risks are overstated?
