Stormers vs Glasgow Warriors Preview
The Stormers got back to winning ways last week against Munster at home. They are a different beast in Cape Town and against a Glasgow side that lost to the Bulls last week, I fancy the hosts to win this one.

Stormers Form
The Stormers produced an excellent second-half performance against Munster at home last weekend, winning 34-19.
The Stormers began the second half leading 14-12 after scoring two converted tries in the first half and extended their advantage with their third converted try in the 47th minute of the match.
Munster reduced the deficit with a converted try after 68 minutes of play before the Stormes scored 13 unanswered points in the remainder of the game to seal the victory.
The Stormers are 12th on the URC log with 10 points from four fixtures.
The Stormers have won their last three home matches and got the better of the Glasgow Warriors in Cape Town in 2022, but it will not be easy going against the URC defending champions this Saturday.
