Cape Town Stadium serves as the battlefield for the much-anticipated North-South derby, as Jake White’s charges eye a first victory in seven URC matches against their Cape rivals.
The Bulls currently lead the race to the 2023-24 SA Shield in third spot on the overall standings, while the Stormers are 10th after a 3-4 start to the season.
But log positions mean little when gritty rivalries resume, and the Stormers will be raring to exploit the mental “edge” they’ve cultivated over the Bulls since the inaugural tournament in 2021.
