THE PREDICTION
With the URC’s fixtures blown to pieces by another covid-19 interruption, the South African sides will play each other here instead. The threat of outbreaks puts any match in South Africa under threat but should the game go ahead this looks like a good day for the Stormers. Stormers have won each of the last three competitive meetings between the two sides and the last two at home dating back to a Lions win here in Super Rugby back in 2018. It came perilously close in a 37-39 victory at Lions in their most recent match back in May but taking the hosts to cover more than double that looks a reasonable target here. Take Stormers to cover -5 at home as they did in their last meeting in Cape Town this time last year.
