Recent Form:
Stormers (Home team): W-L-L-L-W
The recent form of the Stormers has been very poor. They picked up three losses in a row over the last few months. They did play the Bulls last and picked up a win for the first time since early March. Their home loss in January to the Sharks was the only loss they have had at home since last February.
Dragons (Away team): D-L-L-W-L
The Dragons had failed to pick up an away win since December 2024. Their last three away URC games have been lost by six points or less, so they are improving on the road. In the fallow week, they picked up a draw with Benetton and beat Newcastle relatively convincingly in the Challenge Cup.
