Stormers look for improved defence
The Citizen
|January 22, 2026
The Stormers will be aiming to produce a much improved defensive performance when they take on the Sharks in their massive United Rugby Championship (URC) coastal derby at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.
One of the Stormers biggest strengths this season, particularly during their 10-match unbeaten run over the first few months, was their extremely stingy defence, that saw them claim two clean sheets, against Leinster and Scarlets in the URC.
But in their most recent two Champions Cup games they have gone off the boil a bit, with an admittedly weakened side shipping over a half century of points in a 61-10 loss to Harlequins in London, which was their first defeat of the season.
