The story
Rugby fans in Cape Town are in for a treat as the Stormers are set to take on the Lions at the DHL Stadium on Saturday afternoon, in what should be a cracking South African derby.
To build the hype of the Stormers' United Rugby Championship encounter with the Lions, SuperSport Rugby shared two separate clips of the players undertaking a keepy-ups challenge.
For the Lions, prop Asenathi Ntlabakanye, wing Edwill van der Merwe, halfbacks Sanele Nohamba and Morne van den Berg, along with captain Marius Louw, all delivered commendable performances during their part of the challenge, showing just how closely linked rugby is to football.
Rugby was born out of the beautiful game that is football and the Stormers need just two of their Springbok playmakers, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Manie Libbok to outshine the Lions in the challenge.
