The Stormers take on Edinburgh on Saturday, 12 October in their next URC clash.
Kickoff is at 6.15 pm.
Edinburgh will be a very different prospect up at the Hive Stadium, notes Dobson.
"It's going to be a difficult game, but we've got confidence from Saturday's result. We want to get two wins. I feel like we are in a good space," adds Dobson.
"It looks like we haven't picked up any injuries. We are a healthy and happy squad and we will put everything into getting a second win."
Reflecting on the Stormers' 5-36 win against Zebre last Saturday (5 October), Dobson says, "We knew it was going to be ugly because they are fearless so it was good to get the win because of our defence."
For this week's strategy, Dobson says the play is to be a 'little bit brutal' because they are a tough team to beat.
"We've got to make them make mistakes just like we did with Zebre and be a little bit brutal in terms of momentum and physicality. We'll let them make the play and we'll need to be as physical as we can."
