The wait is finally over and this weekend sees four teams from the north head to face the four South African franchises in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship matches for the first time in the tournament.
#Preview – @TheMoneyManSA and @Mark_Keohane agree – the Sharks, Stormers, Bulls and Lions are in line for wins in this week’s @Vodacom United Rugby Championship.
All four South African teams are again geared up and ready for action in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship this weekend.
Sharks coach Sean Everitt and Stormers coach John Dobson have both aired their concerns that their respective teams are not getting a fair reward from northern hemisphere referees for their dominance at scrums and mauls.
Coach John Dobson spoke passionately about Damian Willemse as the playmaker is set to make his 50th appearance for the Stormers on Sunday. DYLAN JACK reports.
Unfinished business with the Stormers played a significant role in Herschel Jantjies’ decision to commit his immediate future to the Cape side.
Munster and three other Vodacom United Rugby Championship title contenders head to South Africa this week for their first forays into the Southern Hemisphere.
Stormers centre Ruhan Nel has not been suspended for his high tackle on Connacht’s Conor Fitzgerald.
Stormers coach John Dobson says he was gobsmacked when he found out that Ruhan Nel had been cited for his tackle on Connacht flyhalf Conor Fitzgerald last week.
Herschel Jantjies has signed a two-year extension with the Stormers, keeping the Springbok scrumhalf at the Cape franchise until at least 2024.
