One of five DHL Stormers players with previous Champions Cup experience, Deon Fourie is looking forward to taking on London Irish in a historic match at DHL Stadium on Saturday.
The DHL Stormers will welcome Premiership outfit London Irish to Cape Town on Saturday in what will be the first-ever Heineken Champions Cup clash played at DHL Stadium.
“We already have one game behind us and now we have the first home game of this big tournament. It’s exciting to show the people of Cape Town what this tournament is all about and the quality of players in this tournament.”Fourie, a Stormers veteran of over 100 caps, is one of five players in the camp with previous experience of Europe’s top-flight club competition. The others include captain Steven Kitshoff, hooker Joseph Dweba, prop Brok Harris and back Alapati Leiua.
Fourie says the Stormers are taking confidence from their first-half performance in challenging conditions in France, which put the visitors 14-3 up at half time.
