Overview
- The Stormers will host Cardiff in a United Rugby Championship quarterfinal at DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Saturday, May 30.
- Director of Rugby John Dobson said centre Ruhan Nel is fit, back as captain, and leading the defence after a calf injury kept him out of the last two tour matches.
- Dobson said wing Seabelo Senatla will be back for the quarterfinal, calling him a crowd‑lifting finisher the team has missed this season.
- Dobson expects about five or six players to return to strength, allowing a near first‑choice selection while long‑term absentees such as Cobus Reinach remain sidelined.
- After a tough UK tour on artificial surfaces, the Stormers stressed the value of playing on grass in front of home fans as they try to capitalise on home advantage.
