A rested Lions side, boosted by some long-term signings including the latest of captain Francke Horn, could be a tricky affair for the Stormers to get through on Saturday in Jozi #URC #LIOvSTO via @IOLsport -

Director of Rugby John Dobson on the last-gasp Clayton Blommetjies conversion miss #URC #STOvBUL

Stormers Director of Rugby John Dobson conceded that their chance for top four in the #URC probably went with the loss on Saturday against the Bulls #STOvBUL

@Yolulwe_Qoshe @aahhtee Think you missed three points in front of the posts that the Stormers' other kicker missed... three extra points would've been good for the home side

It's almost go-time at the DHL Stadium and it is already packed. Sold-out and supporters are expecting a humdinger of a #URC North-South derby #STOvBUL @IOLsport @WeekendArgus @SaturdayStar @CapeTimesSA

This 🔥💪🏽

@This_Kate I laughed me broken🤣

Big task on the shoulders of young Jurie Matthee, but the Stormers will look to their pack for stability amongst injury disruptions in the backline via @IOLsport #URC #STOvBUL -

Stormers assistant coach Dawie Snyman on what they want from Jurie Matthee on Saturday against the Bulls #URC #STOvBUL

The Stormers go five-three split on the bench. Stef Ungerer partners Jurie Matthee. Dan du Plessis and Wandisile Simelane could be an exciting combo. Sithole, Dweba and Malherbe #URC #STOvBUL

Bulls have a delayed flight to Cape Town, Stormers team also not out yet. It's shaping up to be a cracker of a derby with the suspense around the teams #URC #STOvBUL

Primed to be an epic battle in the scrums, Stormers prop Sti Sithole knows how big the North-South derby against the Bulls is. DHL Stadium almost a sold-out affair #URC #STOvBUL via @IOLsport -

Agree, especially if he wants to make the 2027 World Cup - the Boks will definitely need him there

@flip_db @kaymorizm Yeah, the brown grass and patchy areas are not that serious

Stormers loosehead Sti Sithole hopes to contain the power of Wilco Louw at scrum time in the #URC North-South derby in Cape Town on Saturday. His thoughts on facing the Bigman #STOvBUL

A Stormers update: No Manie Libbok, Ruhan Nel, and Suleiman Hartzenberg at training. Jurie Matthee running at 10, Dan du Plessis back at 12. Clayton Blommetjies in the mix with Gary Porter as lock cover #URC #STOvBUL

Probably not ideal, but if the Stormers put Ben-Jason Dixon on the bench as lock and loosie cover. Have Evan Roos and Marcel Theunissen cover 7 and 8, Deon Fourie at 6, they will have sufficient cover for their lock crisis #URC #STOvBUL via @CapeTimesSA -

The #Bulls confirm captain Ruan Nortje and flyhalf Johan Goosen will be out for between 8 and 10 weeks. Other captain Elrigh Louw's season is over. He will go under the knife once the swelling around his knee injury has subsided in the next week or so. His return is not known yet
