This 2026 Currie Cup Round 3 clash sees Stormers XXIII welcome Sharks XV to Cape Town Stadium on Saturday. Sharks XV have won three of their last four Currie Cup encounters between the two sides and racked up four wins in their last five matches overall, hence our prediction favoring the visitors.
Stormers XXIII opened their 2026 Currie Cup campaign with a five-point victory over defending champions Griquas in a closely contested clash. However, the Jean-Luc du Plessis-led team failed to build on their opening-round victory last time out, suffering a heavy 41–3 defeat to Boland Kavaliers.
The defeat to Boland Kavaliers saw the team collapse to their eighth defeat in 10 Currie Cup matches, dating back to the last two seasons. This includes an uninspiring 3–0–4 record across their last seven home fixtures.
Sharks XV also got off to a promising start to their 2026 Currie Cup campaign by seeing off Airlink Pumas 26–24 in the opening round before losing 43–21 in their second fixture.
Nevertheless, Mike Vowles' side head into this clash as favorites, having won four of their last five matches, dating back to last season. They have also dominated this fixture recently, winning three of the last four meetings between the two sides.
