What a great, GREAT game by the Stormers :bravo:
Burger had an absolute stormer (pun intended) of a game.
I just hope that the Stormers can carry this sort of form with them on the road when they go touring down-under and also that Chavhanga and Koster will be up and running soon
Super RugbyThe Stormers ended their three match losing streak in style on Saturday as they hammered the Lions 56-18 at Newlands picking up the bonus point along the way to scoring their eight tries.
The Lions opened the try scoring and went out to a comfortable lead after scoring two quick tries but then the Stormers managed to find the way and went into half time 23-18 in the lead.
The Stormers opened the second half with a bonus point try in the first minute as Percy Montgomery opened up the Lions defence and sent Gcobani Bobo in for the try.
The Stormers needed a moral boosting win as they have the bye next week but then head off on tour for a five match Australasian tour that sees them crossing the Tasman Sea four times in five weeks.
More to follow.
