The DHL Stormers will get the preparations for their 2020 Vodacom Super Rugby campaign underway in earnest with a Varsity Day at Florida Park in Ravensmead on Saturday, which will see them tested by some of the best young talent in the Western Cape.

An extended DHL Stormers squad will play in four separate 20-minute periods against Maties, UCT, CPUT and a DHL WP XV at the home of Tygerberg RFC, with action getting underway at 12h00 on Saturday.

Gates at Florida Park will open at 09h30 on Saturday morning and the DHL Stormers squad will play their first period against UCT at 13h30, followed directly by 20 minutes against five-time Varsity Cup champions Maties at 14h00.

The players will then take a break as the Varsity teams battle it out amongst each other, with the final two 20-minute periods against DHL WP XV and CPUT ending the day.

Entrance on the day at Florida Park will be R20, with parking also R20. The non-playing DHL Stormers will have a signing session at 14h00.

DHL Stormers Head Coach John Dobson said that the Varsity Day will be a good opportunity for his squad to have a first hit-out of the season as they build towards the opening game of their campaign against the Hurricanes at DHL Newlands on February 1.

"We are very lucky to have some quality local University teams, with many of our current players having come through those structures.

"The Varsity teams are all preparing for the Varsity Cup and Varsity Shield campaigns, so we know they will be giving everything out there to make an impression.

"It is also a fantastic opportunity for our squad to connect with the community in the pre-season, as we build on and off the field towards the start of the season," he said.

Ek onthou ook nou net dat daai Kempton stadion mos onvoldoende verklaar is, so tot hulle geld het om dit op te gradeer, word daar nie meer rugby gespeel nie. Die Leeus het in elk geval terug gekom, die enigste ander oefenwedstryd is op Vrydag 17 Januarie op Loftus se B veld teen die Bulle. Hulle speel 2 dae later weer teen die Bulle, so mens kan seker verwag dat altwee spanne met verswakte spanne sal speel

Kannie dink dit is slegter as Loftus B nie.. maar nou ja. Dit was lekker naby vir my om van PTA af te kom en n outing waar alles relaxed was, met spelers wat saam mens sit ens.
