Stormers jou lekker ding! The boys in blue booted the Bulls back to Pretoria with a 19-17 victory. Here's a recap:
A tense finale to the first Vodacom United Rugby Championship North-South derby to be held in Cape Town saw the Stormers come away with a 19-17 victory, thanks mainly to Willemse’s well-taken drop goal on top of two second-half penalties from ex-Bull Manie Libbok.
A hard-fought first half saw both teams level at three-a-piece before Hacjivah Dayimani produced a moment of magic from Deon Fourie’s break upfield to give the Stormers a 10-3 lead at the break. While the Stormers were not clinical with their try-scoring opportunities, Libbok and Willemse both contributed three-pointers to give the home side a nine-point lead going into the final 10 minutes.
