The DHL Stormers have named a powerful squad for Saturday’s URC derby against the Sharks, with 11 Springboks included and 21-year-old Haashim Pead in line to make his Stormers debut from the bench. The return of the iconic Men in Black kit adds another layer to a highly anticipated first home match of the season.
The Stormers return to DHL Stadium with their Springboks, their famous black jerseys and a serious problem to solve. They lost 11 lineouts in Edinburgh. Now an unbeaten Sharks side is coming to town. Deon Fourie says Vernon Paulo should not carry the blame alone. Saturday’s coastal derby could be explosive.
Damian Willemse says the Springboks can carry belief and confidence from their 3-1 Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry win over the All Blacks into the rest of 2026.
🔥 BALTIMORE BRAWL! The Greatest Rivalry reaches its final chapter. The Springboks are one win away from claiming the RGR series, while the All Blacks need victory to force a share of the spoils. Richie Mo’unga returns. Siya Kolisi leads the Boks. 70,000-plus fans could turn M&T Bank Stadium into a rugby cauldron. Who owns Baltimore?
The Springboks head into Saturday’s Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry decider with a 2-1 series lead and two changes to the starting XV.
Damian Willemse returns at fullback after recovering from his niggle, with Morne van den Berg promoted to scrumhalf after his explosive impact off the bench last weekend. Cobus Reinach moves to the replacements.
Kurt-Lee Arendse is back in the Springbok starting XV for Saturday’s third Test against the All Blacks at FNB Stadium. His return is one of the most intriguing selection calls in Rassie Erasmus’ latest team. Arendse was unlucky to miss the Cape Town Test after Cheslin Kolbe recovered from injury. Now the roles have shifted: Kolbe moves to fullback following Damian Willemse’s injury, while Arendse returns to the wing.
Sir John Kirwan believes the second Rugby Greatest Rivalry Test will be decided by critical moments, tactical execution and the ability to impose a game plan early. His warning to anyone buying into the Springbok underdog narrative? “Never believe Rassie.”
