DHL Stormers vs Hollywoodbets Sharks

DHL Stormers open their URC home campaign with a blockbuster coastal derby against the Hollywoodbets Sharks at DHL Stadium.

This Vodacom United Rugby Championship Round 3 fixture also kicks off a three-match home stand for the Stormers in October.

The coastal derby delivered plenty of drama last season, but the home side will be determined to turn the tables on their Durban counterparts, who claimed victory in both encounters.

While bragging rights are always on the line in this fierce rivalry, the Stormers vs Sharks clash also carries significant weight in the race for the URC South African Shield.
