A big crowd is expected at DHL Newlands on Saturday and those with valid match tickets are advised to get to the precinct and to enter the ground early. In order to ensure you don’t miss anything it is advisable that you enter the stadium at least 30-35 minutes before kick-off at 19h10.

There is a curtain- raiser, followed by the Super Rugby team warm-ups and some pre-match entertainment. Our neighbours the Boland Kavaliers play the Pampas XV from Argentina in the early game at 16h45.

Remember that the DHL Stormers need your help! Bring along an old item of clothing to donate to the DHL Stormers/Shawco “Donate to educate initiative” and you could make a big difference in the life of someone less fortunate. There will be collection bins at the 4 main corners of the ground.
