URC Final: All the key numbers
SPOTLIGHT: The Stormers will host the Bulls in the inaugural United Rugby Championship Final in Cape Town on Saturday - a momentous occasion.
With the help of the URC's official statistics provider Oval Rugby and supported by historic information from Stuart Farmer Media Services, we bring you the key numbers ahead of the all-South African showdown.
STORMERS
* The Stormers have been a potent attacking force this season and their offensive play is very rarely thwarted by their own indiscipline. John Dobson's side has conceded fewer penalties in attack than any other team in the URC this season (52)
* Clean breaks are also an area where the Stormers have set the pace this term, boasting a league-best tally of 155, although the individual charts are topped by a pair of Bulls players – Madosh Tambwe and Kurt-Lee Arendse (both on 23)
* No.8 Evan Roos has had a season to remember, enjoying success in the URC Awards and earning a call-up to the Springboks squad. He leads the way for successful carries (142) and defenders beaten (53) in the URC
BULLS
* The Bulls know how to keep an attacking move going, having completed more offloads than any other team in the competition (231), although the Stormers are just six behind on 225
* Only Leinster (89) have scored more tries in the URC than the Bulls (73) this season. The Stormers are fourth on the list with 66
* The Bulls boast the top two try-scoring forwards in the competition, with back row Marcell Coetzee sitting on 11 and hooker Johan Grobbelaar on 9
Did You Know?
* The Stormers have won their last 10 matches since losing 19-17 to Connacht in Galway on February 26. The Bulls, meanwhile, have lost only one of their last 11 URC fixtures - by the same scoreline to the Stormers in Cape Town on April 9
* That fixture forms part of a 5-match unbeaten run in matches against South African opposition for the Stormers, whose only home defeat this season was a 37-19 reverse against the Emirates Lions in December
* Stormers wing Leolin Zas collected the Top Try Scorer prize during the URC Awards but Marcell Coetzee pulled level with him on 11 by touching down in the Final Four victory over Leinster
