Okay there was no comment box here to post for the last few minutes.
Well done Stormers. Just wish they never allowed Chiefs to walk away with two bonus points as they surely will pick up another 5 points next week and leave SA with 7 points.

Well done Stormers!

Stormers with their first win but they had 4 tries scored against their much vaunted defense…

Geluk aan die Stormers, baie belangrike wen.
2 uit 3 vir SA teen NZ die naweek.

Defense is not enough to win against a team of the quality of the Chiefs. Stompies most probably will reach the play-offs but can’t see them winning the cup.
