DHL Stormers to face Edinburgh at DHL Stadium

The BKT United Rugby Championship can confirm a change of venue for the R3 fixture between the DHL Stormers and Edinburgh Rugby.

The game was originally scheduled to take place at the Danie Craven Stadium, however, the DHL Stadium, which hosted last season’s Grand Final, has become available due to changes in the stadium events calendar. 

The opening match against Connacht will still take place at the Danie Craven Stadium, given that logistics, planning and event costs are already at an advanced stage, with the Irish team booked to stay in Stellenbosch.

With Edinburgh staying in Cape Town, there is enough time to switch the October 1 match to DHL Stadium and allow for the necessary stadium preparations following the Rugby World Cup Sevens, which was successfully hosted at the stadium last weekend.
