DHL Stormers flank Deon Fourie is hoping that the team can feed off the energy of the home crowd at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday in the Champions Cup knock-out match against Harlequins.
As someone with over 100 caps for the Stormers and plenty of experience in the Champions Cup for French side Lyon, Fourie knows what to expect this weekend better than most.
“The team will definitely feed off that on the occasion, we will enjoy it and hopefully the crowd can add an extra few points on the scoreboard, if it’s needed at the end.”Fourie said that the hard-fought draw with table-topping Leinster in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship last week has helped prepare the Stormers nicely for a high-intensity knock-out game.
“It was good playing Leinster before Harlequins because Leinster also love to play with quick ball. We made good plans for Leinster and I think they worked well, so we will just take that into this weekend’s game,” he said.
