Stormers go marching into URC top four as superb Willemse, Gelant ... (News24)

The Stormers have taken a significant step towards hosting a United Rugby Championship quarter-final, beating Glasgow Warriors at Cape Town Stadium.

There was almost another try, too, as the Stormers resorted to basketball passing, skips and audacious offloads on their way to the line. There was nothing pretty about it as the Warriors bashed away, and eventually it was No 8 Jack Demspey who crashed over from close range. It stayed that way for long enough for the match to be over as a contest long before the final whistle sounded, and by the end there was only one team playing rugby. Libbok dropped the ball when the try was potentially on, but the Stormers had the advantage and he knocked over the resulting penalty from point blank range to give his side a 13-7 lead going into the break. The match saw former Stormers prop Oli Kebble return to the Cape, and there was a roar from the home crowd when Steven Kitshoff, Scarra Ntubeni and Frans Malherbe combined to obliterate the highly-rated Glasgow front row to win the first penalty of the game on 5 minutes. It was far from polished for the Stormers - their lineouts did not function accurately and there were too many missed tackles - but this was another showing of this side's attacking arsenal and their ability to hurt sides from anywhere.

Supersub Gelant stars in Stormers' bonus-point win (SARugbymag)

Warrick Gelant made a telling second-half impact to steer the Stormers to a vital victory over the Glasgow Warriors in Cape Town on Friday night.

It did not take the Springbok dynamo long to impact the game, as he twice combined with Hacjivah Dayimani to first put Herschel Jantjies away for the Stormers’ second try and then Leolin Zas over in the corner. A coast-to-coast linebreak from the subsequent kick-off, featuring Willemse, Pretorius, Ntubeni and Seabelo Senatla, was further evidence of this and allowed Manie Libbok to extend the home side’s lead to six points at half-time. While they got the better of the early physical exchanges, the Stormers struggled to retain possession for most of the first half and fell behind in the 18th minute when Jack Dempsey burrowed over for a controversial opening try, even though it appeared that scrumhalf Ali Price had knocked on in the build-up.

Stormers turn it up in second half to blow Glasgow Warriors away (Independent Online)

They got some points via the posts tk take them 13-7 up at half time. Working from their own 22, the Stormers looked on a mission as they penetrated Glasgow’s defence to get all the way to the the Scots’ red zone. A monster of a tackle from centre Rikus Pretorius gave John Dobson’s side the chance to get on the scoresheet with a penalty conversion through flyhalf Manie Libbok in the 30th minute (3-7). And they didn’t stop there.

URC result: Stormers hammer Glasgow Warriors in Cape Town (Citizen)

The Stormers produced a scintillating second half to completely dominate their URC match against Glasgow Warriors.

First from a poor clearance in the 53rd minute Gelant put Dayimani into a gap, with him offloading to scrumhalf Herschel Jantjies to score, followed by Gelant feeding Dayimani in the 22m and him finding left wing Leolin Zas to go over, which put them into a 25-7 lead. Glasgow were not interested in going for posts, choosing the line out a couple of times and after some good play on the Stormers line, eighthman Jack Dempsey forced his way over, with flyhalf Ross Thompson adding the extras. The Stormers put in a top performance to cruise to a 32-7 (halftime 13-7) bonus point win over the Glasgow Warriors in their United Rugby Championship match at the Cape Town Stadium on Friday night.

Stormers v Glasgow: Warriors succumb again to second-half slump ... (The Offside Line)

A bright beginning was followed by an increasingly lacklustre performance that saw Danny Wilson's side end up well beaten.

Ollie Smith stopped the deficit from growing further with a try-saving tackle on Jantjies, but that was an isolated positive moment as the Warriors lost their shape and their composure. Scrum-half Herschel Jantjies got the first of them, finishing off a counter-attack in which openside Hacjivah Dayimani sliced through the Glasgow defence with embarrassing ease. With two games of the regular season to go – away to the Bulls and then Edinburgh – Danny Wilson’s side may need points from both if they are to end up in the league’s leading quartet and thus have a home quarter-final. Libbok converted, then added a penalty in the closing minute of the half after Sam Johnson had strayed offside. “We struggled with a little bit of adversity and made too many errors – that’s the cycle that we now need to break. As a result, their hopes of a home quarter-final in the URC play-offs are now in serious doubt.

Rikus Pretorius, Herschel Jantjies, Leolin Zas and Evan Roos went over for the Stormers, while Manie Libbok kicked 12 points.

Glasgow lost Josh McKay to the sin bin 12 minutes from time to end any lingering hopes of a Warriors fightback, and Roos powered over for the bonus point in the final minute, with Libbok adding the conversion. Pretorius, who came off worse after making a crunching tackle in the first half, did not emerge for the second and Scarra Ntubeni followed him to the treatment room after pulling up with an apparent calf issue. Libbok made it 10-7 from the tee and added a penalty after a subsequent onslaught failed to deliver a second try.
