Teams, fixtures and results from Round 18 of the United Rugby Championship.

Stormers coach John Dobson, pictured here on the training field in January 2024, is set to rotate his charges in the coming weeks Jake White has picked what is widely considered his first-choice match-squad for Saturday's URC derby against the Sharks in Durban on Saturday.

The Stormers end the regular season with a South African derby in front of their home crowd, and they will look to build on a three-match winning streak ahead of the play-offs. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu starts at fullback with Warrick Gelant rested as a precaution due to a slight niggle. While a further run for the likes of Vincent Koch and Bongi Mbonambi in particular won't hurt Springbok interests in the nearing Test season, Ox Nche, too, is set for a juicy meeting of minds with the Bulls prop Wilco Louw at scrum time.
