Stormers Centre Ruhan Nel Excited To Face Sale's 'sa Flavour'

They know its make-or-break in the final home game of their Champions Cup group-stage campaign, but the Stormers believe the momentum picked up over the festive-season clashes will assist them in picking up a first win in the European tournament.

After dispatching the Lions and Sharks in United Rugby Championship derbies in December, the Cape outfit are keen to carry that winning momentum into tomorrows do-or-die encounter with English Premiership side Sale Sharks 3pm start at the Cape Town Stadium.

It will be their first Champions Cup match in Cape Town for this campaign, and arguably one of the most important matches of their season.

After ending 2024 on a winning note, their aim will be to continue with that confidence boost as they kick off the new year.

Stormers centre Ruhan Nel said this week that they know that, after losing the first two matches, the pressure is on them to win both the remaining fixtures if they want to make it to the playoffs.
