In line with their aim of connecting with their ‘faithful’ fan base, Stormers players released a heartwarming song ahead of Saturday’s home Champions Cup clash against two-time defending champions La Rochelle.

Impi yamaStormer, with prop Sazi Sandi at the forefront, made headlines on social media on Wednesday.

“We can’t wait to have you doing your thing in the stands on Saturday for our first game at DHL Stadium this season,” the Stormers posted on X.

The Stormers will feature at their home stadium in Green Point for the first time this season, having played their opening home URC games at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch.

The Capetonians opened their Champions Cup campaign with a 35-26 loss to Leicester Tigers at Welford Road last weekend.
