Stormers v Chiefs: The Hard Numbers

Stormers celebrate at Newlands

The Chiefs will be hoping for a repeat of last season’s quarter final thrashing of the Stormers, while the home side are looking for just their second finals victory in 9 attempts.

The numbers don’t definitively point in any one direction ahead of this clash but they do make for interesting reading…

  • The Stormers earned an eight-point win against the Chiefs when they met in Round 7 this season and will search for back-to-back wins against them for the first time since 2008; however, the Chiefs earned a comprehensive 60-21 win when these teams met in last season’s quarter-finals.
  • The Stormers have only one Finals Series win to their name in Super Rugby history despite playing in eight such fixtures (L7).
  • The Chiefs have won five and drawn one of their seven fixtures away from home this season; their only road loss came when they traveled to Cape Town in Round 7.
  • The Chiefs have conceded only 13 first-half tries so far this season, the fewest of any team in the competition and 20 fewer than the Stormers.
  • SP Marais has made 31 offloads so far this campaign, the equal most of any player in the competition and six more than Chiefs’ best Damian McKenzie (25).
