Stormers – Latest Rugby News, Results & Fixtures
If you’re into South African rugby, the Stormers are the team to watch. Based in Cape Town, they’ve been fighting hard in Super Rugby and the United Rugby Championship, delivering big moments that keep fans on the edge of their seats. At CottonCandi we pull together all the match reports, player interviews and tactical breakdowns you need so you never miss a beat.
Recent Stormers Highlights
The last few weeks have been a roller‑coaster for the Stormers. After a solid win against the Bulls, where winger Lukhanyiso Ndwandwe snagged two tries, they stumbled against the Crusaders in a tight 24‑22 loss that left the scoreboard ticking until the final minute. What stood out was their defensive line – it held up under pressure but gave away a few cheap penalties that cost them dearly.
One thing fans loved was the comeback against the Sharks. Down by twelve at halftime, the Stormers turned it around with a brilliant kicking game from fly‑half Dan du Preez and a late try by captain Siya Kolisi that clinched a 31‑28 victory. The post‑match interview on our site captured Kolisi’s belief: “We never back down, we fight till the final whistle.”
What’s Coming Up for the Stormers
Looking ahead, the next big test is the clash with the Highlanders at Newlands. The schedule says it’s a home game on Saturday, and all signs point to a tactical battle – the Highlanders love quick ball movement while the Stormers rely on strong forward play. Expect the coaches to experiment with new set‑piece strategies, especially in the lineout where they’ve been experimenting with taller jumpers.
Beyond that, there’s talk of an international friendly against the All Blacks later this month. While it’s not a competition match, the hype is real because it gives South African players a chance to measure themselves against New Zealand’s finest. Keep an eye on our updates; we’ll break down squad selections and what each player brings to the table.
For those who want deeper insight, we’ve got a special feature on Stormers’ midfield engine – the partnership between Jacques du Preez and Pieter-Steph Du Toit.
