The first half proved to be a tight affair as both teams tried hard to gain ascendency and breach the defence, but only 10 points were scored in the first half with Sharks flyhalf Joaquín Díaz Bonilla kicking a solitary penalty goal and Stormers wing Seabelo Senatla scoring for the home side to hand them a 7-3 halftime lead.

The Capetonians kept the scoreboard ticking in the second half to secure their second win this year, crossing the Sharks line twice to add to two penalty goals by Manie Libbok (flyhalf), while their effective defence limited the visitors to a converted try for their efforts.

Stormers 20 (7) – Tries: Seabelo Senatla, Adre Smith. Conversions: Manie Libbok (2). Penalty Goals: Libbok (2).
