The Stormers, sitting second in the United Rugby Championship, are tipped to cover a -6.5 handicap away against Cardiff despite recent away struggles. Cardiff have shown strong home form, winning their last five home matches, but suffered a heavy defeat to Glasgow and face a determined Stormers squad aiming for a home play-off. Backed by experienced Springbok performers, the Stormers' superior quality and league position give them the edge in this pivotal fixture.
