Stormers hooker Joseph Dweba borrowed from the infamous Rassie Erasmus thesaurus, letting out a bellowing declaration at full-time as Munster shocked Leinster to grant Cape Town a second straight United Rugby Championship (URC) final: "We'll f**k them up!"The defending champions couldn't hide their delight, caught on camera, when the final whistle blew in Dublin as Munster's surprise 16-15 win over the runaway favourites was confirmed. READ | Breaking down the Springbok door: Stormers star Manie LibBOK makes strong World Cup case The Stormers, who beat a spirited Connacht 43-25 at the Cape Town Stadium, the venue for the 27 May final, earlier on Saturday gathered in the stadium to watch the match with teammates, friends and family members.
Players and coaching staff were seen hugging and embracing each other in visibly emotional and jubilant scenes. Having done their bit to book a place in the final, they waited to see if they would travel to Ireland or stay put at home.
It was the latter equation - a development that Dweba was clearly delighted by as he confidently let out his clarion call, similar to when then-Springbok head coach Erasmus told his charges to "f**k them up" ahead of their Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Japan in 2019.Munster, however, will have a thing or two to say about that as they hold the unique distinction of being the only team to beat both Leinster and the Stormers on their patch this season.
