It is a blockbuster “Easter Saturday” for South African rugby as the Stormers and the Bulls head into high-stakes Champions Cup playoff territory. Both franchises are away from home, facing grueling tests in France and Scotland respectively.
Here is everything you need to know about the fixtures, kick-off times, and team news.
1. Toulon vs. Stormers
The Stormers land in France brimming with confidence following three consecutive wins in the URC, where they currently sit in a strong 2nd place. While they face a Toulon side that has struggled in the French Top 14 lately, the hosts have won their last three Champions Cup outings, making the “Hell of Mayol” a dangerous assignment.
