Built on the famous rugby legacy of Western Province dating back to 1883, the Stormers bring an exciting mix of history, a passionate fan base, and a current crop of Rugby World Cup-winning Springboks to the Vodacom United Rugby Championship. Their roots in South African rugby run deep as one of the oldest rugby unions in the country. For many years they were a powerhouse of South African rugby, and still hold the record for the most titles in the Carling Currie Cup, the premier domestic competition, of 34. Schalk Burger, Bryan Habana, Siya Kolisi, Jean de Villiers, Percy Montgomery, Eben Etzebeth, Corné Krige, Breyton Paulse, James Small and Duane Vermeulen are just some of the Springbok greats to have played for the Stormers.

If you want to sound like a local: Grab yourself a Gatsby before heading to a Stormers match. A Gatsby is a submarine sandwich traditionally filled with French fries and sauces. It’s hugely popular amongst the blue-blooded Stormers fans.

What you didn’t know: Their iconic old stadium Newlands hosted its first rugby match as far back as 1890.
