More than 40,000 are expected at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday evening as John Dobson’s Stormers look for an unprecedented seventh successive win in the Vodacom URC against Jake White’s Vodacom Bulls .

Some of international rugby’s biggest names were on show, on a sun-kissed afternoon, and those names included three Springbok World Cup winners for the Stormers.
