Incredible pass by Leyds to SP Marais to send Marais away for a try!
Stormers 34 / 21 Chiefs
That was simply sublime… firstly a great break by Kolbe… hacked ahead, won on the chase by Leyds… and he throws a brilliant back-handed pass from the ground to SP Marais!!

The game is far from won for the Stormers, but they have the important 13-point lead…
