The Stormers’ Champions Cup clash against Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop could prove to be an epic encounter as both teams have struggled to hit their straps in the URC and Premiership respectively, which has left them at the bottom end of the log tables.
Both sides also hit a bump in the road in their opening Champions Cup encounter, with the Stormers going down by 24-14 to Toulon, and Harlequins suffering a 23-12 defeat against Racing 92.
The Stormers have also endured a host of injury setbacks, but they will be desperate to find a way to make a long-awaited return to winning ways.

Looking back at last weekend, the Sharks started the weekend on a bright note when they defeated Exeter Chiefs 39-21 in Durban on Saturday afternoon.
However, that was to be the only win of the weekend as the Stormers lost 24-14 to Toulon on the same day at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, and that was followed by the Bulls’ 27-5 evening defeat to Saracens in London.
In the EPCR Challenge Cup, Perpignan kicked a late equaliser to deny the Cheetahs a famous victory in Amsterdam, while the Lions found the going tough against the Ospreys in Llanelli.
