But, in terms of the level of rugby, this is an on-merit, first-versus-second clash with lots to play for.” “Operating mainly with Evan Roos and Deon Fourie in the back row, the now bulkier Dayimani has helped bring balance to a loose trio. He joined the squad as a No8 but has warmed to the challenge of playing flank. Often Dayimani, who has the licence to roam as a No8 finds himself using his vast skill set to put the Stormers' three quarters into space. We are getting all the attention and we are trying to keep our feet on the ground. We are proud of ourselves.

Stormers flyhalf Manie Libbok has seen his star rise this season, thanks to some superb performances in the United Rugby Championship.

“Each and every game I play I have been able to grow and get better. “So I just want to take this opportunity and use it, putting my best foot forward every week for the team and jersey. “This team is special. “Playing for this team has been amazing and I am just grateful for the opportunity that coach Dobbo (John Dobson) has given me. “Having these guys around me is great. Joining the Stormers was a great decision and from the word go when I arrived here the guys have made me feel at home,” said Libbok.

The Stormers have made a concerted effort to keep their eyes off the major prize as they played themselves into United Rugby Championship (URC) contention.

It was easily the biggest home crowd the Stormers have pulled this United Rugby Championship season, and why wouldn't it be?

A moment of madness from Evan Roos then cost the Stormers a try-scoring opportunity when he was penalised for an incident off the ball, but it didn't hurt the home side as they were soon back in possession and on the scoreboard with their third try. The Stormers had their maul working and had sucked in the Leinster defence, who also lost a player to a yellow card, manufacturing the space for their backline to have a go. Like the streaker who ran the length of the field shortly before the restart, much to the delight of the crowd, the Stormers were fast out of the block and hit the front when Gelant finished off a move down the right.

The Stormers held on at the end to secure the win in their United Rugby Champion clash against the table-topping Leinster at Cape Town Stadium in the Mother ...

Leinster’s set-piece infringement saw the Cape side regain the lead with a penalty try (20-13) after the Irish pulled it down. The visitors got back two minutes later through Giaran Frawley’s boot (3-3). They made it 3-6 at the end of the opening quarter. The Stormers, however, were in no way poorer for it, as De Wet put in another strong shift on the day.

Stormers have been dealt a late injury blow just hours before their United Rugby Championship match against Leinster.

Leinster Rugby came away with a valuable losing bonus point from Cape Town that secured top seed with one round left to play in the URC.

However, Leinster to coughed up their own lineout in a dangerous area, quickly translated into a penalty try and a yellow card for Foley in the 66th minute. A metre-eating maul, orchestrated by McKee, drew another penalty and the subsequent lineout take by Murphy was turned into a try by Ed Byrne and a flawless conversion from Harry Byrne to tie up the scores in the 62nd minute. A cracking surge by Foley on the fringes and link play between Penny and Frawley forced a penalty which Harry Byrne sent to the corner. One man up, the home side opted to move the ball from a scrum and Gelant’s timing held Russell long enough to put Senatla over on the right for 13-6 in the 54th minute. The unbelievable persistence of Josh Murphy at the maul allowed Leinster to come through on the ball and Russell kicked long for Jamie Osborne to force a knock-on out of Warrick Gelant. The confidence of Foley under a high ball and Russell’s ball and man tackle on Seabelo Senatla were countered by a tremendous kick into the corner by Libbok from a penalty for offside.
