  • It is difficult to go against the hosts considering their form. My best bet is a Stormers win.
  • Stormers have won their last 10 matches.
  • Stormers beat the Bulls by 2 points in their last meeting.
  • Bulls have won 10 of their last 11 matches.
  • Bulls have scored the 2nd most tries in URC this season.

Head to Head


Stormers beat the Bulls at home 19-17 earlier this season.

Stormers Form


The Stormers have won their last 10 matches in the United Rugby Championship. That helped them secure second place on the table which ensured a home quarter and semi-final.

While they are in good form, the Stormers have not always been convincing. Many of their victories have been very tight encounters.

In the quarter-final the Cape Town side beat Edinburgh 28-17 at home. Last week they needed a last minute converted try to secure a 17-15 victory over Ulster at the Cape Town Stadium.

Stormers Team News


John Dobson has made minor changes to his side. Deon Fourie will play his 100th game for the franchise at flank.

Sergeal Petersen starts ahead of tournament top try scorer Leolin Zas due to injury. Former Cheetahs flank, Junior Pokomela will offer impact from the bench.

Bulls Form


The Bulls have plenty of confidence coming into this final, winning their last six matches. In fact, their last defeat came at the Stormers when they lost 19-17.

The Pretoria franchise arrive in Cape Town off the back of two bruising encounters. In the quarter-final Jake White’s side beat the Sharks 30-27 with a last minute drop goal.

Last week saw the upset of the season as the Bulls travelled to the Aviva Stadium to beat Leinster 27-26. That result sent shockwaves across the tournament as the hosts were expected to win with ease.

Bulls Team News


Bulls are likely to field the same side that beat Leinster last weekend. They are in good form with Marcel Coetzee now level as the top try scorer in the competition.
