Leinster Rugby vs DHL Stormers

snatch the ball in the 22 and canter over.
The second came off the back of
a period of sustained pressure, as
Blommetjies glided through a gap to
score.
That gave the home side a 19-6
advantage at half-time, to the delight of
the DHL Stadium crowd.
The bonus-point try came 13 minutes
into the second half, with Angelo Davids
getting on the end of a cross-kick from
Libbok and grounding it despite slipping
in the process.
The Cell C Sharks fought back well,
scoring two tries of their own from wing
Yaw Penxe and centre Rohan Janse van
Rensburg to make it 26-18 heading into
the last 15 minutes.
The DHL Stormers were down to 14 for
the last 10 minutes after replacement
prop Sazi Sandi was shown a yellow
card for a cynical infringement.
Scrumhalf Grant Williams scored a third
for the visitors and Seabelo was shown
a yellow card for a trip, which meant the
DHL Stormers had to finish the game with
13 men on the field.
That set up a tense finish, but the DHL
Stormers had the final say with a late
penalty from Libbok to seal the win.
The 29-23 win ensured that the
DHL Stormers are United Rugby
Championship South African Shield
winners for the second consecutive
season.
