Kolisi will lead the side. Plumtree said “one or two more players” had suffered from a stomach virus that passed through the group, but hopefully by Saturday they will be fit to play.He said the festive season would have disrupted preparations a little but both camps would be “fired up and ready to go” in front of a huge crowd on Saturday. “We know what a massive challenge it is playing the Stormers away from home. It has been a while since the Sharks have won down there.”The Stormers will be eager to win in front of a packed home stadium as that would allow them to overtake the Sharks in the South African shield of the URC.“We are really looking forward to it. We think both teams play a pretty expansive game and it should be pretty entertaining to watch.”The last time the Stormers lost at home to the Sharks was in the Pro 14 Rainbow Cup on May 1, 2021 (score 33–30). The Stormers are in good form at the top of the South African shield in the URC (fifth overall on the table). The Stormers are second in the SA shield. The Sharks beat the Stormers 21–15 in their first URC derby, played at Kings Park Stadium in Durban on November 30
