New date and kick-off time for Sharks v Stormers

NEWS: The delayed Round One United Rugby Championship fixture between the Sharks and the Stormers has a new timeslot.

The match will kick off at 14.00 SA time (12.00 GMT) on Saturday, February 4 in a change from the original slot of 19.00 SA time (17:00 GMT) on Friday, February 3.

This change has been accommodated due to a request from the host broadcaster as there is a clash with "another sports event".

Both teams are currently in Europe preparing for Round 13 of the tournament.

The Stormers will face Ulster in Belfast on Friday, while the Sharks will face Edinburgh in Scotland on Saturday.

That match between the Sharks and the Stormers a week later will take place at Kings Park in Durban.
