TAKE A look at the Blues’ record in Cape Town before pointing to the fact that the unbeaten Stormers are the best defensive team in Super Rugby.

The New Zealand side has won four of its previous six games at Newlands, and is looking the goods after its impressive victory over the Bulls in Pretoria last week.

Rookie first five Gareth Anscombe was on fire at Loftus, scoring all 29 of the Blues’ points.

However, it’s unlikely he will get the same platform laid down for him against the Stormers, though the absence of Bok flank Schalk Burger in the home side’s pack can’t be overstated.
