Assistant coach Rito Hlungwani expects a stern test for the DHL Stormers from the Vodacom Bulls on Saturday, as it would be “naive” to write off their rivals.

The Stormers can clinch the SA Shield if they win the north-south derby against the Bulls in Pretoria when the Vodacom URC resumes this week.

Speaking in a Stormers conference this week, Hlungwani acknowledged the rugby IP of White’s support staff while highlighting the improvements the Highvelders have made since their narrow defeat in Cape Town two months ago. The Stormers are sixth in the standings and lead the charge for the SA Shield on 17 points from their four local duels, and Hlungwani emphasised the strides that John Dobson’s charges continue to make this season.
