Stormers aim to build momentum against Dragons at DHL Stadium

Fans will be hoping the Stormers continue their resurgence at DHL Stadium on Sunday when they take on Dragons RFC.

Stormers Head Coach John Dobson said the Stormers’ 32-19 win over the Bulls in Pretoria last weekend was a turning point in their season. 

“We've gone back to the things that we do well, like our defence and our set pieces. It's been a clinical, simple, and direct approach that's gotten us back on track."

This renewed focus has paid off, with the Stormers now sitting second on the log, just a few points behind Glasgow Warriors, alongside Ulster, Leinster, and Cardiff Rugby. 

Several changes were made to the starting lineup that defeated the Bulls last weekend, with Seabelo Senatla and Dan du Plessis returning from injury.

Dobson acknowledged that this game, and the next against Edinburgh, will be tough, but he remains optimistic about the team’s chances.

"If we stick to the same principles that got us here, I think we can do it. We need to keep teams under pressure and make them exit, and eventually, we can get into the transition,” he said.
