Welcome to this round 12 fixture of the United Rugby Championship between the Lions and the Stormers here at Ellis Park! It's been an interesting and tough campaign for the Lions, having lost six of their eight total games. They come into today's match having lost three games on the trot. It is important to note that their last win in the URC was indeed against the Stormers. The Capetonian side on the other hand have a slightly better form, having won three of their URC games and drawn 2. They sit slightly higher on the log as a result but a win will help their efforts into saving their campaign. This promises to be an interesting encounter with these two old foes going head to head.
