The DHL Stormers are travelling to Glasgow for a quarter-final, excited by the chance to win their first Vodacom URC playoff on the road.
The fifth-placed DHL Stormers will travel to face the Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun Stadium on Saturday night.
“It’s a fair fourth versus fifth clash in terms of results, history and everything. It’s always a tough one,” Dobson said. A four-game winless tour last November put the Stormers on the back foot at the beginning of the season. “If we look at the project and where we were, we are quite pleased to be in the playoffs and stay in the Champions Cup next season,” Dobson said.
“Since we got back from that early season tour, I said to the team, it feels like we have had a knife to our throat for a large part of the season. That adds pressure. The fact that we punched through that to finish fifth is good. However, with Manie Libbok and Frans Malherbe making the journey this time around – and buoyed by getting nine points from their last two games in the north against Dragons and Connacht – the Stormers are confident they will be able to banish the ghosts of that performance.
