Stormers (12) 18 / Highlanders (6) 6 (Final Score) 

The Stormers hosted the Highlanders at Newlands, Cape Town at 19:10 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD and M-Net on TV in SA.

In a very hard battle where the Stormers had to make more than double the tackles compared to the Highlanders, the Stormers toughed out an ugly win.

Rather an ugly win though than a spectacular loss!

Stormers: 6 Penalties Peter Grant
