DHL Stormers on Twitter
The DHL Stormers will play one of their home games for the Vodacom United Rugby Championships at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha.
The team issued a statement on Wednesday stating that due to clashes with some pre-booked events at the DHL Stadium, the Stormers will play three home games at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch and one in Gqeberha.
While every effort was made to avoid these clashes, the events at DHL Stadium had been booked up to a year in advance, while the Vodacom United Rugby Championship fixtures could only be confirmed recently.
The first two home games of the new season, against Connacht and Edinburgh on September 24 and October 1, will be played in Stellenbosch due to the Justin Bieber concert which will be held at DHL Stadium on September 28, which will require significant construction in the stadium.
The Round Nine clash with Dragons RFC on the 3rd of December will be played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
All of DHL Western Province’s 2023 Carling Currie Cup home matches will take place in Cape Town.
