Both are capable of making decisive plays, with Willemse’s pace and footwork perhaps giving him the edge. Dayimani has all the X-factor any loose forward would want. But he may have his hands full defensively, as Larmour has been described as the ‘Cheslin Kolbe of Irish rugby’. Blommetjies knows when to take on the defence on the counter-attack with ball-in-hand and when to kick an up-and-under or look for territory.

Stormers go into the game off the back of a narrow six point win over the Sharks on 4th March. Leinster will be hoping to continue their dominant form and make it 16 wins from 16 in front of a packed RDS. Leinster haven't trailed often at half-time in recent months. Leinster do the business and its Scott Penny with the try. An entertaining first 40 minutes ends with a Leinster try after some excellent scoring from Stormers. Leinster drop points for the first time in this years URC as a spirited display from Stormers grabs them a share of the spoils. Harry Byrne punts the ball out for a line-out near the Stormers try-line. That was an intense 40 minutes at the RDS in Dublin. Leinster lost their 100% record but sealed top spot in the league phase. Unfortunately for them the conversion is missed on what has been a difficult night for kickers. Leinster now lead by five points at 17-22. At half-time Stormers lead by 17 points to 5.

The team in full is: This same fixture last year saw Leinster pipped by the Stormers 20-13 down in Cape Town, Leo Cullen will be hoping to avoid that as his side aim to finish out the remaining three games without a blemish to their record. Leinster are unbeaten all season and have 11 bonus points from their fifteen wins, but a game against the Stormers couldn't have come at a worse time. The Stormers come into the game hot off the back of a three-game winning streak with just three losses all season. With Leinster favourites by the smallest of margins, this should be one of the games of the league. Unbeaten Leinster are missing a host of key players compared to the South African Stormers.

Leinster secure top seed after nailbiting Stormers draw (RTE.ie)

Leinster came from 17-0 down against the DHL Stormers, to draw 22-22 with the defending champions at the RDS.

On 58 minutes he landed his second 50:22 of the night to put Leinster back on the offensive. McKee had intercepted an overthrown lineout in the Stormers 22, before the visitors conceded back to back penalties, and from the second of those Leinster went to their usual five metre pick and go game, with Deegan’s clever pass to Milne sending the loosehead over to score. It took them just three minutes of the second half to make it a one-score game. It was a chaotic and bizarre third quarter. They were left to rue those missed chances on 33 minutes. The crucial word there is 'unbeaten'.
