Stormers most watched rugby team in the world! John Dobson weighs in

Lester Kiewit speaks to DHL Stormers head coach John Dobson about the upcoming game. 

The Stormers have a date with the Bulls tomorrow at Loftus Versfeld in their United Rugby Championship clash. 

Tickets to watch the game are already sold out. 

After ten games, the Bulls are third on the log and the Stormers placed sixth, but in terms of their URC head-to-head encounters, the Stormers have won all seven of their matches, seeking their eighth.  

While the team is fully prepared, Dobson says the team also faces pressure. 

"We're under a bit more pressure because we want to host the semi-final and final in Cape Town. So, there's pressure on both teams."

Latest URC stats also show that the Stormers are the most watched rugby team based on stadium performance - wherever they play, people want to be there.

Dobson says he is "very proud" of this.

"We are in the top 10 at the moment of every game this season where games either hosted by the Stormers or venues hosting the Stormers. It's something we are very proud of. We want to be the biggest club in the world and we've made amazing strides."
