Harlequins hosts the DHL Stormers at Twickenham Stoop in a Champions Cup pool-stage matchup that brings together two teams arriving in very different form. 

Harlequins comes off a difficult 66-21 loss to Northampton in Gallagher PREM play and has split its opening two Champions Cup fixtures. The English side started with a 45-28 loss to Leinster, before rebounding emphatically with a 68-14 win over Bayonne in Round 2.

The Stormers arrive with significant momentum, having won each of their last five matches across competitions. 

That run includes a 13-8 URC victory over the Bulls and two Champions Cup wins, defeating Munster 27-21 in Round 1 and Bayonne 26-17 in Round 2. 

The Stormers' consistency and defensive control have positioned them among the early leaders in the pool.

Recent history between the teams adds further intrigue. 

Harlequins won the most recent meeting in December 2024 by a 53-16 margin, though the Stormers claimed a 32-28 victory when the sides met in April 2023. 

With Harlequins looking to build on its Round 2 response, and the Stormers aiming to extend an unbeaten run, this matchup carries clear implications for the pool standings.
