The Stormers, who edged a willing Irish province Connacht 43-25 in their semi-final in Cape Town at the weekend, then watched Munster’s surprise win over Leinster in Dublin in the other semi-final this weekend.
The Capetonians celebrated wildly as they earned the rights to host the Final after Munster slotted a late drop-goal to defeat their arch-rivals Leinster 16-15 in Dublin.
It is the second consecutive season that Leinster stumbled in the semifinals of the URC.
The Stormers, as the highest-ranked team in the final, will host the match in Cape Town on Saturday, May 27.

Munster will travel to Cape Town with confidence after their recent victory in the Mother City, where they became only the second team to beat the 2022 champions at their home ground.
Munster are unbeaten in four games after getting smashed by the Sharks in the Heineken Champions Cup at the start of April.

It just goes to show how important administration is to a rugby team. Three years ago loosing top Springboks to the Sharks over bad administrative decisions, put under administration and enter Dobson. When last did we see 50 000 people at a franchise game outside of England and France? There will be close to 60000 at the final.
