DHL Stormers welcome Cardiff Rugby to DHL Stadium for a URC playoff quarterfinal, with a place in the semifinals at stake in Cape Town.
The Stormers earned the opportunity to host a knockout match and will look to take advantage of home support against a Cardiff side determined to extend its season.

“We enjoy incredible support at DHL Stadium, and we know that this will be another memorable occasion as knock-out rugby returns to Cape Town,” Dobson said. “We have some key players returning, which makes this one of the most experienced DHL Stormers teams that we have ever selected.”
Cardiff coach Corniel van Zyl said his side remains focused on executing its own game plan despite the challenge of facing the Stormers away from home.
“For us, it's all about how we apply what we want to do against them,” he said. “If we can start well and apply pressure through what we do best - scoring points - then we can put them under pressure.”
