The United Rugby Championship (URC) will be played in its 52nd location when the Stormers play their first-ever competitive match at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch on Sunday.
The match against Zebre will mark their first home match against European opposition and coach John Dobson is desperate for his team to put their best foot forward in the shadow of Dr Danie Craven whose statue stands nearby.We want to make the most of the special atmosphere at the Danie Craven Stadium on Sunday and produce good rugby,” said Dobson about the temporary home as cyclists converge on the precinct of their regular home at the Cape Town Stadium.
Bagging five log points will be the Stormers' goal as they aim to close the gap on conference leading Sharks. The captaincy goes the enduringly competitive Deon Fourie, while fit again Warrick Gelant returns at fullback.
