On the opening weekend, Edinburgh lost 33-31 to a weakened Leinster side at home before going down 22-16 at the Bulls in round two.

Last week, the Scottish side had a horrid first half against the Lions in Johannesburg. They produced better in the second 40 but went down 55-21.

Stormers Form

The Stormers, like all South African sides in the URC, missed the opening round. They have only played twice this season, winning one and losing one.

Against Ospreys in the second round, the Stormers were in the game for large periods, but the hosts pulled away in the final quarter, winning 37-24 in Wales.

Last weekend, the Stormers bounced back with a 36-5 victory at Zebre. It was a crucial bonus point win to put some confidence back into the side.
