'There's going to be natural niggle, the video won't have helped'

John Dobson says it will be "rugby suicide" for his team if they get involved with Munster on the pitch - after tensions were raised by leaked footage from the Stormers camp last weekend.

"We were sitting in the suite just up here, it was beautiful, it was the team, there was a crowd, we were overlooking the empty stadium and we were celebrating having won a really tough game against Connacht and having a beer, and really we weren't expecting anything from Leinster-Munster. "So I don't think there's one rugby team in the world who wouldn't have reacted like we did. But it was genuinely a celebration.

"We've never beaten Munster. We got a hiding in Limerick, they ended our 21 or 22 game winning record here. "I thought it was a brilliant gesture by URC, whoever the decision-makers were because it's so fantastic that the people of Cape Town who have supported us can afford to come to the game.
