Stormers brace for another tussle with Connacht
The Citizen
|April 17, 2026
The Stormers remember well the attacking threat Connacht posed in their last encounter, and little has changed since a year ago, said director of rugby John Dobson and loose forward Deon Fourie (right).
The teams meet at Cape Town Stadium tomorrow (kickoff 1.45pm) in the 15th round of the United Rugby Championship.
The Stormers, having won three URC games in a row, are pushing to wrestle the top spot on the table from Glasgow Warriors, who are four points ahead and travel to Cape Town next week.
All their eggs are in the URC basket after a Champions Cup last-16 exit. Connacht are likewise going all-out after being knocked out of the Challenge Cup quarter finals.
The Irish side boasts a six-match winning streak in the URC and eyes a move from ninth into a playoff position.
Connacht scored four tries in Cape Town in April last year, narrowly losing 34-29.
