The Stormers survived a late Sharks rally to seal their 18th successive home victory in the URC, while the Lions stunned the Bulls.

Williams brilliantly sidestepped Senatla and rounded the winger to cruise over the whitewash. Rohan Janse van Rensburg continued his fine form to put the Sharks within touching distance after 65 minutes. The Stormers managed to see the game out after a botched clearance from Bosch and their Cape-based ability to pressurise the Sharks in their own 22. [March 4, 2023] The Sharks rallied late in the second half, scoring two quick tries, with the Stormers going down to 13 men after yellow cards to Sazi Sandi and Seabelo Senatla.

Three rounds remain but Stormers are already Shield champs ... (SuperSport)

The Vodacom Bulls' shock defeat to the Emirates Lions coupled with the result of the earlier Vodacom United Rugby Championship match played on local soil on ...

Saturday’s results helped the Stormers but hurt the South African ambitions of getting two teams into the top four. By beating the Cell C Sharks 29-23 at DHL Stadium, the Stormers lifted themselves to 59 log points after 15 games. Dobson indicated he will probably go full strength to Leinster, meaning with his Springboks back from their rest, in a quest to both honour the integrity of the competition - it is a top two clash - and try for a possible win. Not only did the Stormers win over the Sharks, who came back strongly from a big deficit to nearly steal it at the end in front of a big Cape Town crowd, mean they have at least one trophy securely locked away in their cabinet for another year, it also ensured them of something that Dobson feels will be difficult to repeat in a hurry - a clean sweep of derby matches against fellow South African teams. The Stormers coach has reason to feel proud of his team’s efforts this season as Shield was decided in the final round of league play in the 2021/2022 season, while this season they have clinched it with a full three rounds to play. And the Lions beating the Bulls 29-25 at Loftus later in the evening meant that the Bulls end the latest phase of the competition ahead of a three week break with 43 points.
