The Bulls have brought a very strong outfit down to Cape Town and one or two of those players have a few scores to settle with the Stormers.
Both Schalk Brits and Duane Vermuelen are ex-Stormers and both have hinted that the organizations poor communication played a big part in their moves to the Bulls.
Western Province’s Currie Cup captain Chris van Zyl will lead the Stormers on #SuperHeroSunday .
The Stormers might not enjoy the kind of support you would expect in a packed stadium in your home town with fans of all four franchises pouring into the Cape Town stadium in Green Point.
The Bulls have six other Springboks in their lineup backing up the experience of Vermuelen and Brits. Warrick Gelant, Jesse Kriel, Handre Pollard, Ivan van Zyl, Trevor Nyakane and skipper Lood de Jager all bring immense international quality.
