Last updated: 22 Apr 2026

The Stormers are set to face the Glasgow Warriors, and despite being favorites due to their home advantage, they've had a rocky history against Glasgow. While the Stormers have clinched 3 of their last 5 home games, they are coming off a narrow defeat to Connacht. Glasgow, on the other hand, boasts a solid road form but just suffered a significant loss to the Lions. With several key players returning, both teams are poised for an intense matchup. The recommendation is to back the Stormers to cover a -7.5 handicap.
