TRY, STORMERS, ZAS! 14-20; Stormers take the lineout, scrumhalf to the loose-forward… then to Zas… and he slices through 8 Scarlets players on the way to dotting down under the posts… the Scarlets players caught napping and hardly making an attempt to stop him. That's a dream try.
63’
Commentary
The scrum on the the halfway line breaks down… Stormers feed again, run the line, but they struggle to break through… then Feinberg-Ngomozulu chips forward for Zas to chase on, but his kick is JUST too strong. Superb effort. Scarlets with the throw near their 22.

TRY, STORMERS, FOURIE! 0-10; Magnificent play from the Stormers. After breaking down a Scarlets attack, then Stormed through the Scarlets middle, laying off pass after pass before almost dotting down under the posts… the ball then being slung out to the right where Fourie powers over the line and dots down. Superb team try.
16’
Commentary
OH DEAR!!!! Feinberg-Mngomezulu's conversion attempt is woeful. Almost looks like when you try to kick a cheap plastic soccer ball on the beach and it whips this way and that before heading to turf. Way off.
15’
Try
TRY, STORMERS, LOADER! 0-5; Magnificent running from the Stormers, first to the left touchline then back right, before it's flung out to Loader on the wing, who presses forward and touches down with one hand, with a Scarlet defender clinging to his waste. Superb try from the Stormers.

9’
Commentary
Stormers run their line to the right wing… slick passing… but Scarlets intercept, this could be dangerous… but the ref has blown for offside. Feinberg-Mngomezulu tries an overly ambitious kick with the penalty but it's too deep and now Scarlets will have a scrum just past the halfway line.
