The DHL Stormers return home in Round 2 of the United Rugby Championship with momentum after shutting out Leinster in their opener. 

Friday’s clash at DHL Stadium in Cape Town marks a special occasion for two Stormers stalwarts, with Dewaldt Duvenage making his 100th appearance, and Adré Smith celebrating his 50th. 

Ospreys will counter with Dewi Lake captaining the side, looking to bounce back after a narrow loss to the Vodacom Bulls in Round 1.

Stormers Director of Rugby John Dobson said his team is focused on improvement despite last week’s emphatic win. 

“While we were happy with the result last week, we know that there can be no complacency heading into this match against an Ospreys side that has proven tough customers for us in the past,” Dobson said. “There are a few areas we want to improve on, and while we have maintained the core of the team that did duty last week, we are also looking forward to seeing what the players coming in can add.”
