The Stormers and Sharks will look to firm up their prospects of reaching the playoffs when the Vodacom United Rugby Championship resumes this week.
The Stormers lead the South African charge on 47 log points, a 19-17 victory over the Vodacom Bulls two weeks ago moving the Cape side up to fifth in the URC.
John Dobson’s charges are followed by the Sharks in sixth on 46 points, the Durbanites coming off a comprehensive 37-10 victory over the Lions. The Stormers have a tricky home game against Glasgow Warriors on Friday and, a day later, table-topping Leinster travel to Durban to face the Sharks. The Bulls are still in contention to finish in the top eight and host Benetton in Pretoria on Saturday, while the Lions, who occupy 12th on the log, clash with Connacht in Johannesburg.
