Stormers Super Rugby History

The Stormers are based in Cape Town and centred around the Western Province union, but also draw players from the Boland Cavaliers (Wellington).

Through 2005, they also drew players from the Eagles (George), which meant that they drew players from all three unions in the Western Cape Province.

However, the general realignment of franchise areas resulting from the expansion of the competition resulted in the Eagles being moved to the Spears who are managed by the Southern and Eastern Cape franchise and was supposed to enter the Super 14 in 2007.

In 1996, the Stormers competed in the Super 12 as Western Province. In 1997, they did not compete, the 4th South African team being the Orange Free State. The Orange Free State is now the Central Cheetahs.

They have only ever reached the final of the Super 12/14 competition once in 2010, having been eliminated in the semi-finals in their other best years, 1999, 2004, 2011 and 2012.
