The Stormers and the Lions are gearing up for key United Rugby Championship encounters against Ulster and Ospreys on Saturday.
The Lions will play their last overseas game of the competition this weekend.United Rugby Championship
Ahead of last weekend’s games, both teams were outside the top eight, with the Stormers ninth and Lions 11th, but after thumping wins over Edinburgh and Connacht respectively, they rose to fifth and eighth on the log.For the Stormers, they know they still have plenty to work on despite their seven-try-to-three win over Edinburgh, as they left a number of opportunities out on the park.
“But we just have to cover all our bases. In the lineouts, maul defence and scrum. But I think the breakdown is going to be key for us to secure good ball for our runners coming onto the ball.”On the Lions front, they know that a win over Ospreys is vitally important for their playoff aspirations as they prepare for a tough URC run-in.
