This fixture marks the Stormers’ final home game for the next two months. The team will return to DHL Stadium on 19 April to face Irish side, Connacht. The upcoming clash against their northern rivals presents an opportunity for the Stormers to climb the log.

 

Road Restrictions and Transport Options

 

Gates at DHL Stadium will open at 11:00, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00. To facilitate a smooth arrival, the City has urged spectators to plan ahead.

“Due to limited parking in Green Point, we recommend parking in the CBD and either using the free MyCiTi shuttle or walking via the Fan Walk to the stadium,” said Alderman JP Smith, Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security.
