Stormers wary of rested Lions ahead of URC derby

December 15, 2025

THE Lions may be licking their wounds after a second straight Challenge Cup defeat, but the Stormers know the team arriving in Cape Town on Saturday will be a very different beast as the United Rugby Championship (URC) local derbies roar back into life.

- LEIGHTON KOOPMAN

Following an eighth victory of the season, which sees them remain unbeaten in all competitions, the Cape side will have a big target on their back as they head into a crucial stage of their URC campaign from this weekend.

The Stormers secured a bonus-point 42-21 victory over La Rochelle in Ggeberha this past Saturday. It leaves them atop Pool 3 in the Champions Cup, with two more matches to play in January before the knockout stages.
