The Stormers were the "Crusaders of Super Rugby conference titles", the gods of small trophies, but all that changed when they won the United Rugby Championship (URC) last year, their first international franchise trophy.
Defending United Rugby Championship (URC) winners, the Stormers, were officially crowned this year's SA Shield champions for the second year in a row after beating the Sharks in Cape Town.
Billed as the clash of the season so far, the United Rugby Championship fixture between the Bulls and the Stormers didn't disappoint on Saturday as the Cape-based franchise ran out 23-19 winners in a tense affair.
Their professional relationship might've been a bit tetchy over the past year or so, but Stormers coach John Dobson gleefully welcomed his Bulls counterpart Jake White back to the fold for Saturday's highly anticipated north-south URC derby at Loftus.
Neil Powell intimated on Thursday that the Sharks are indeed involved in a tug-of-war with the Stormers for Aphelele Fassi's signature.
As much as Bulls scrum coach Werner Kruger is in awe of the Stormers' scrum, he also hopes his charges will be able to channel their emotions effectively at set-piece time for Saturday's North/South derby at Loftus Versfeld.
