JJ Kotze set for 50th cap as Stormers chase URC Shield hopes

February 27, 2026

STORMERS hooker JJ Kotze gets goosebumps thinking of running out for the 50th time for the Cape side tomorrow against the Lions at Ellis Park.

- LEIGHTON KOOPMAN

While the milestone will be a special achievement for the 25-year-old, his focus will be to help the team get back to winning ways in Johannesburg (2.30pm kickoff) as they restart their United Rugby Championship (URC) campaign.

The Stormers are still in line to claim the SA Shield but know only a victory tomorrow will suffice.

Kotze’s 50th is another feather in his cap after he completed his degree in physiotherapy recently. He did this while racking up the matches for the inaugural URC winners.

He says he owes a lot to his teammates and coaches for allowing him to finish his studies, while playing.
