Lions brace for Stormers forward onslaught
The Star
|February 27, 2026
THE Lions are expecting a massive forward onslaught from the wounded Stormers in their United Rugby Championship (URC) derby at Ellis Park.
The Capetonians were tactically exposed by the Sharks in their home-and-away series before the break for the Six Nations, with the line-outs in particular going awry. The pressure the Sharks put on the Stormers' set-piece meant compromised possession for their dangerous backs.
The talk from the Cape is that lessons have been learned, wounds have been licked, and they are coming to Johannesburg to get their URC campaign firmly back on track.
