Cape Town - The Stormers will wear red armbands in Saturday's Vodacom Super Rugby clash against the Sharks at Newlands, as a show of solidarity with and as a mark of respect for all the firefighters after the recent Cape fires.
Cape Town's South Peninsula has been hard hit by blazing fires this past week, but the true spirit of the city continued to shine through in the toughest circumstances possible.
The decision to wear red armbands was made after a conversation between Stormers coach Allister Coetzee and skipper Duane Vermeulen on Wednesday, before it was put to the entire team on Thursday.
