Stormers (10) 10 / Crusaders (23) 29  (Final Score)

The DHL Stormers hosted the Crusaders at Newlands, Cape Town.  Stormers was forced to change their team. Dewald Duvenhage out, Louis Schreuder in. That disruption did not cost them the game, they also lost their inspirational captain at half time. Schalk Burger did not return from the changeroom, he broke a finger. The forwards of the Crusaders dominated the Stormers. At scrumtime the Stormers were not up to it. More to follow…..

Scorers:

Stormers: 1 Penalty & 1 Conversion Peter Grant, 1 Try Bryan Habana

Crusaders: 5 Penalties & 2 Conversions Dan Carter, 1 Try Sean Maitland, 1 Try Robbie Fruean
