The Lions hosted the Stormers at the “Coke-Tin” late this afternoon. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game was broadcast on SuperSport 1 in SA on TV.
The Stormers had a good First half, scoring all their points and clearly overshaddowed the Lions in the Fist Half. The Second Half was different, only 7 points coming in the whole half, the Lions always playing catch-up. In the end the Stormers won comfortably, 26 / 13. No bonus points was earned for tries.
All in all, the game was a dour affair.

The Welsh are piling on the pressure – but the Scots are holding on – but only just.
It will take its toll all this tackling.
Great counter-ruck by Stormers
As ek Lions is, hardloop ek heeltyd op die 10/12 kanaal af.
