The Stormers will rely on eighthman Evan Roos to provide front-foot ball possession with his powerful carries, but his work at the breakdown on attack and defence will also be important to halt Cardiff on Saturday afternoon.

The pressure will be on the Stormers when they face Cardiff in their United Rugby Championship (URC) quarter-final on Saturday afternoon in Cape Town.

It's a near full-strength side playing in front of a packed DHL Stadium (3.30pm kick-off), and they will have home advantage and a vociferous crowd behind them. Now, it's all about putting in the hard work between the four lines to topple a fired-up Welsh outfit.

Cardiff arrive in Cape Town as the last team to beat their hosts in the league phase, having done so a couple of weeks ago at Arms Park in the Welsh capital. They, too, come into this clash with momentum on their side.

However, the Stormers were without some of their strongest players on that occasion and, despite the defeat, they will be eager to exact revenge.
