Evan Roos then pounced on a ball that had gone loose after Gelant went to ground. Mngomezulu was asked to hit the ground running. Another Libbok penalty took it out to 28-17, and when Leinster conceded turnover just a couple of metres short of the Stormers line with eight minutes remaining, they were out of time. Libbok missed a simple conversion, but at 25-10, the Stormers looked to be well on their way to the semi-finals. Gelant's attempt to find a teammate was controlled by Blair Kinghorn, but his wayward pass saw the ball fall loose over the line, allowing the Stormers fullback to fall on it and score.
