The Stormers are counting on the Faithful to pack out Cape Stadium for the historic Champions Cup playoff against Harlequins in April.
“Make sure you are there,” was the message in a press release promoting the 1 April clash which marks the first time the Stormers will host a Champions Cup playoff match.
Victories at home and away against London Irish, and a comfortable win against Clermont in their final pool game were enough to secure the Stormers safe passage to the playoffs, having started their campaign with a tough defeat against the French side at the Stade Marcel Michelin. Harlequins have Springbok tighthead prop Wilco Louw and inside centre Andre Esterhuizen in their squad, along with England internationals such as flyhalf Marcus Smith and loosehead prop Joe Marler.
In their four pool matches Harlequins scored 113 points, including 16 tries. They made 25 clean breaks and 19 offloads among their 316 carries and beat 59 defenders in the process.
