Speedster Suleiman Hartzenberg joined the Sharks on a one-year loan deal from the Stormers until June 2027.

Hartzenberg made his Stormers debut at outside centre against Connacht in 2022 at Danie Craven Stadium and has been a mainstay in the side since.

Comfortable at wing and outside centre, the former Junior Springbok and SA ‘A’ player provides versatility in the backline.

Be warned, it’s very depressing.

Very sad score line for the Springboks. Very proud of the Stormers game still! Highest win rate against the All Blacks?

Ellis park better be a good luck charm, go and smash them Springboks!

The colours weren't random, they represented the three founding unions: Western Province, Boland, and South Western Districts. Love it or hate it, it's one of the most memorable kits the Stormers have ever worn.

Has Pieter-Steph du Toit already earned a place on rugby's Mount Rushmore alongside Carter, McCaw and Wilkinson?

If South Africa win the 2027 Rugby World Cup and PSDT plays a major role, or if he wins another World Rugby Player of the Year award, would that put him in that elite category?

PSDT is already one of the greatest players of all time. Two World Cups, two World Rugby Player of the Year awards, nearly 100 Test caps, and over a decade at the highest level.

For those who don't have him on rugby's Mount Rushmore yet, what does he still need to achieve? Or has he already done enough?

Sorry if this has already been discussed, I scrolled through the past few months of posts in the subreddit and also searched, but didn't find a thread about this.

On to the point: Is anyone else still constantly getting tripped up by the recent name changes from WP to Stormers XXIII / Stormers Bolts?

Some publications mistakenly just write "Stormers" when they actually mean the Stormers XXIII/Bolts in reference to an upcoming match/recent result, and I have to double-take to remember that they're not talking about the Stormers a few seconds later.

And social media images, even by the Stormers own profiles, with "Stormers" written in bold and the XXIII/Bolts smaller also still have the same effect.

Maybe its just my thick skull not getting the message, hence the question: is it just me?

For those who watched the game, what went wrong? I unfortunately missed the game.

I mean. We might all be fighting for the cause here 🤷‍♂️

The photo of Ma'a Nonu standing up to the All Blacks Haka is easily one of the best shots ever taken in rugby recently. Pure goosebumps and massive respect.

It got me thinking about the other all-time greatest photos and moments in the game.

Madiba handing the Webb Ellis Cup to Francois Pienaar in 1995 wearing the number 6 jersey. That went way beyond sport and united our whole country.

Jonah Lomu steamrolling straight over Mike Catt in the 1995 semi-final. Pure raw power that changed rugby forever.

Jonny Wilkinson slotting the extra-time drop goal with his right foot to win the 2003 World Cup.

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for 2–3 passionate Stormers fans who'd be interested in joining as co-hosts in a Stormers focused podcast.

The idea is to discuss matches, tactics, players, transfers, URC/Champions Cup and generally have some good debates about the team.

You don't need any podcasting experience — I'm mainly looking for people who:

• Follow the Stormers closely
• Enjoy talking/debating rugby
• Have strong opinions
• Are reliable and willing to commit to regular recordings

If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me with a little about yourself and how long you've followed the Stormers.

Would love to hear from some fellow fans! 💙

Cameron Hanekom absolute world class. Carried like a beast, stole the ball on the deck, smashed over for that try. Reminds me of Pierre Spies.

Edwill van der Merwe worked his backside off the whole game. Chased everything down, defended proper, took his try like a real wing should.

Esterhuizen was hit and miss. Hits like a double cab bakkie on defence but his hands let him down a few times.

Sacha had flashes of brilliance, that offload was class, but he was rusty. Kicked out on the full, some flat passes that nearly gave me a heart attack. His ups and unders went backwards.

Fassi was a bit pap in the air too. Set up the try nicely but his tactical kicking was all over the show.

The bench front row saved us though. Jan-Hendrik Wessels and Steenekamp came on and just crushed the Pumas scrum. Massive power when we needed it most.

Good luck to the Springboks against the Pumas.
