The Bulls bolstered their position in the playoff places when they beat the Lions 31-19 at Loftus, in last week’s only United Rugby Championship match. They sit in third place with 40 points, trailing just 2 points behind Glasgow and 12 points shy of Leinster. The Stormers have been in poor form this season, with a record of 4 wins and 7 defeats, languishing in tenth place, but only 3 points away from a playoff spot.

The Stormers hinted at resting their international players after the break, but that remains to be seen with both teams’ line-ups not yet confirmed.

The last time these two met, the Bulls edged out the Stormers 33-32 in Cape Town. As the heavy favourites, the Bulls are priced at around 1.14 with the Stormers at 6.20.
