Stormers XXIII winger Joel Leotlela, who scored against the Bulls, will be key on the attack as the Cape side look to topple the Lions in their final Currie Cup round-robin match on Friday.
The Stormers XXIII had some strong training sessions against their United Rugby Championship (URC) team ahead of a season-defining Currie Cup encounter with the Lions.
According to head coach Tom Dawson-Squibb, it’s probably the best preparation they could have received this week as they bid for a place in the semi-finals of the domestic tournament.
Currently in fighth, a victory at Ellis Park (5.05pm kick-off) will elevate the Cape side into third in the standings, and then they will need a few results over the next three games to go their way to make it to the knockouts. However, they are not planning on leaving things to chance and want to give themselves the best opportunity of making it through.
So, their goal is to improve on their games from the last couple of weekends as they push for a top-four spot.
