Stormers 'not Scared Of Taking The Low Road' In Urc Quest Against Lions

The Stormers are in arguably the most testing period of the season at the moment.

Having been virtually knocked out of the Champions Cup last Saturday with a 53-16 thrashing at the hands of Harlequins in London, they are hoping to pick up the pieces in the United Rugby Championship this weekend.

But its not a straight-forward quest in that competition either. They are languishing in 13th position on the log, having garnered just two wins out of six and 11 points.

Now they have a confident Lions side visiting Cape Town Stadium on Saturday 3.45pm start, with the Johannesburg outfit fifth on the URC standings with four wins out of six and 19 points.

In addition, Ivan van Rooyens team come off a thrilling 43-35 Challenge Cup triumph over Pau at Ellis Park last Saturday, and will feel that they can repeat their famous 37-19 win over the Stormers in Cape Town in 2021.
