Stormers (3) 16 / Bulls (6) 19 (Final Score)

The DHL Stormers hosted the Vodacom Bulls at Newlands, Cape Town at 18:10 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.

This game cannot be described as rugby, it was rather trench warfare… and the Bulls won the brutal war, revenging the Stormers win of earlier in the season at Loftus.

The Bulls were just simply better in the set pieces, the rest was all equal.

Scorers:

Stormers: 1 Penalty Kurt Coleman, 2 Penalties & 1 Conversion Dewaldt Duvenage, 1 Try Andries Bekker

Bulls: 4 Penalties & 1 Conversion Morné Steyn, 1 Try Francois Hougaard
