The DHL Stormers continue their United Rugby Championship tour of Europe with a Round 4 clash against Zebre Parma at Stadio Lanfranchi in Italy. After opening their tour with a win, the Stormers will look to build on that momentum and continue their unbeaten start to the season.
Captain Ruhan Nel leads a balanced lineup combining attacking pace and experience as the South Africans prepare for a Zebre side eager to impress on home soil.
Stormers Director of Rugby John Dobson said his team welcomes the chance to continue improving after a strong first outing overseas.
“It was fantastic to get a win in our first game on tour last week, but there is no doubt that there are several areas that we can improve on as we take on a very competitive Zebre side this weekend,” Dobson said.

Dobson added that the return of fullback Warrick Gelant brings extra spark to the attack. “Having a player like Warrick back in the mix is a boost for us, and the other players coming in are also keen to make an impression so hopefully that will work in our favour.”
Zebre, led by captain Giovanni Licata, enter the fixture looking to challenge a Stormers squad loaded with Springbok internationals. The home side will rely on tempo and set-piece strength to test one of the URC’s most consistent teams.
