Friday night lights return to Cape Town as the Stormers welcome Ospreys for a highly anticipated clash at DHL Stadium.

The Stormers take on Welsh's Ospreys on Friday, 3 October at DHL Stadium.

Kick-off is 7pm.

Stormers' Captain, Rohan Nel says, the team is ready to defend and create magic moments tonight.

"The Stormers has always been known for a good defensive system. I think the attack comes naturally just by the talent we've got in the Western Cape... it's always good line-outs, scrums, nice physical backs, it makes for a fun evening on the field," says Nel.

"Every week is a new challenge, I think Ospreys are very physical... there'll be a bit more of a physical threat than what we had last week. They have an attacking threat... but it's good, we want to start the season off well and we have targets to reach over the first five fixtures and this is the road we have to walk to achieve that," adds Nel.
