The Stormers and Bulls, and coaches John Dobson and Jake White, will renew their heated rivalry in a United Rugby Championship (URC) clash at Loftus on Saturday.

That match kicks off at 17:05 and will follow another all-South African affair when the Lions host the Sharks in Johannesburg at 15:00.

While the Stormers are all but guaranteed a playoff position this season, Saturday's clash is still crucial in terms of securing home ground advantage in the quarter-finals and beyond.

The Stormers are currently second on the log with 50 points and maintaining that position will mean they play at DHL Stadium in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals, should they get that far.
