Stormers vs Glasgow Warriors URC preview as the top two sides in the competition meet at the DHL Stadium.

Glasgow currently sit four points ahead at the top of the table and with a win would be close to securing a home quarter and semi-final for the URC playoffs if they made it that far. The Stormers sit on 51 points, level with Leinster and three points ahead of the Lions. A defeat could see them drop as low as fifth.

Glasgow were sitting comfortably at the top of the league after their win over Leinster. They went on to reach the Champions Cup quarter-final, but lost out narrowly to Toulon, just like the Stormers. In the first game of the South African tour they suffered a heavy defeat to the Lions. They conceded eight tries in their heaviest loss of the season.
