Champions Cup: La Rochelle, Cap or not Cap?. The Maritimes, double reigning European champions, face the Cape Stormers in the round of 16, who narrowly beat them, at the same place, during the group stage.
The reigning double European champions are condemned to the feat. For two years, South African franchises have never lost at home in twelve Champions Cup matches (10 group, 2 round of16). This season, the Cape Town players are 5th in the URC and have seven victories in their last eight matches.
