Welcome to the Cape Town Stadium as the South African sides play a slightly rescheduled fixture following the new COVID-19 variant. The Stormers will fancy their chances against the men from Johannesburg. Live updates to follow

South African Shield leaders the DHL Stormers welcome the Emirates Lions unbeaten in their last two matches having drawn 20-20 with Edinburgh before a 24-10 win against the Dragons in Newport.



By comparison, the Lions, who currently sit second in the South African standings, have not won since overcoming Zebre Parma in their opening game of the season.



The Johannesburg outfit’s last win over the Stormers was a 41-22 Super Rugby triumph back in June 2019 while their last victory in Cape Town came at Newlands the previous May.
