The Stormers clash against the Bulls is fast turning into a not to be missed encounter as ticket sales ramp up fast.

It’s going to be a blockbuster rematch on Saturday as the Stormers host the Bulls in the United Rugby Championship quarter-finals.

The match is at DHL Stadium and is a second instalment of the knockout battle between the North and South. The Stormers lifted the first-ever URC last year and will be favourites to move into the semis.

You might be watching from the couch if you don’t move fast. By early on Wednesday, as many as 30 000 tickets were sold.

And that’s up 10 000 in two days.

Bulls coach Jake White will bring Marcell Coetzee straight into the Bulls matchday team following his return from a stint in Japan.

And that’s not the best news for the injury-hit Stormers.
