Don’t miss out as JeanLuc du Plessis plays his 50th game in the Stormers uniform and the two teams battle it out for dominance on the field.
South African Rugby bids farewell to one of its finest players, Lizo Gqoboka, as he transitions to a new club. Gqoboka, popularly known as GQ, recently left the Bulls, where he has had a fruitful tenure, with two Currie Cup victories and a Super Rugby Unlocked title to his credit. The Springbok forward has also played two test matches for South Africa, along with three appearances for South Africa A and a Springbok XV side between 2016 and 2019.
In preparation for the departure of influential captain Steven Kitshoff, the Stormers have signed two loosehead props to fill the void. Lizo Gqoboka and Sti Sithole have been brought in to strengthen the team’s front row options as they move into the postKitshoff era.
