Connor Evans

Energy and aggression define Connor Evans' contribution in the Stormers back row. Born on 24 January 2002, the flanker has built his game around a high work rate at the breakdown and a combative defensive edge that makes him difficult to play against. He competes keenly for turnover ball, brings line speed in defence and relishes the physical confrontation that comes with playing in the loose forwards. Evans has been part of a Stormers squad that has enjoyed success in the United Rugby Championship, an environment that demands both physicality and discipline from its forwards. His tackling and tireless support play make him a valuable component of the pack, capable of providing the kind of relentless pressure that disrupts opposition rhythm. As he continues to develop, Evans offers the Cape Town side a durable and committed back-row option who does the hard, unseen work that underpins a successful forward effort. His appetite for contact and willingness to chase every contest mark him as a player coaches can rely on when the physical battle intensifies.
