With two warm up fixtures already under the belt, against Australia’s Western Force and the Sharks, head coach Allister Coetzee will use this opportunity to fine-tune systems, build confidence and grow his experience in depth. Four months of competition lies in wait, and with lessons learnt from the 2009 season, the Vodacom Stormers will know just how important it is to hit the ground running. The match is a Boland Rugby Union fixture and despite the...

Lifted in November last year, the ptich was completely relayed to provide a billiard like surface with exceptional drainage.

Tickets now on sale at Computicket outlets or at the stadium for R50 (seating), R20 (standing) and R10 (scholars area). Season Tickets are not valid.
