Stormers seeking much better start to travels
The Citizen
|September 28, 2024
The Stormers will be looking to get their United Rugby Championship (URC) campaign off to the best possible start when they take on Ospreys at the Morganstone Brewery Field in Bridgend, Wales tonight (kickoff 8.35pm).
The Stormers have been notoriously poor travellers over their first three URC campaigns, but despite that they have made the knockouts every season, featured in two finals and won the inaugural version of the competition.
If they want to make their season easier, winning on the road is a must and that is something they will be looking to do against Ospreys, who they will also be wanting to gain some revenge over after the Welsh team stunned them 27-21 in Cape Town last season.
"We have taken notes out of last season. That first tour didn't go so well. We were chasing our tails for the rest of the season, and it put us under pressure,"explained Stormers assistant coach Dawie Snyman.
