Full Time
FULL-TIME! STORMERS 43-21 EDINBURGH. An impressive and important win from the Stormers who will be buoyed by their seven tries and ever-growing confidence running out wide as well as down the centre of the pitch. A tough day for Edinburgh but they are still well placed for the playoffs. Thanks for sharing the action with us and enjoy the rest of your sporting weekend.
84’
Commentary
After a lengthy tussle up and down the pitch the ball is kicked into touch and THAT'S THE BALL GAME! Stormers win 43-21!
81’
Commentary
Edinburgh hold them up then drive them back towards the 10m line where they win a penalty and kick for touch as they seek the fourth try bonus point.
80’
Commentary
Stormers win two penalties, and the ref sends an Edinburgh man off for obstruction… the clock is dry but the Stormers are pushing for a bonus point! Scrum 5m…
78’
Commentary
Stormers scrum hard forward, Edinburgh battle to hold them up… the ball spurts loose but it's another penalty for the Stormers who will scrum again.
Advertisement
76’
Commentary
Jantjies drive for the line, then it's spread wide to Simelane who is pushed into touch just short of the tryline. Edinburgh lineout with their backs to the wall… and most basic of error that put it in skew, and the Stormers elect a scrum.
74’
Commentary
Stormers with a lineout on the Edinburgh 22… they spread it down the line quickly to the right wing, who is tackled, and they spread it back left, then right again… then the forwards drive through the middle… and the Stormers win a penalty, kicked to the 5m line.
72’
Commentary
MAGNIFICENT RUNNING RUGBY FROM THE STORMERS, turning Edinburgh inside out until that eventually run out of space and into a tackle. Superb play from the Stormers.

51’
Commentary
Edinburgh drive forward and to the Stormers 5m line, Hodgson trying to drive through but the ball is knocked out of his hands as he falls over the tryline, but the ref awards another penalty to the Scots.

Try
TRY, STORMERS, HARTZENBERG! 31-14; From the kick-off the Stormers run the line and run the line, until space opens up and the ball is fed to Hartzenberg on the right touchline and he drives through for 15 m before crashing over for the try in the corner, with two Edinburrers diving on top of him in desperation. Libbok with the conversion from the right touchline just pulls it a touch and it's it scrapes past the far post.
48’
Commentary
… Stormers drive the ruck over the line but the ref rules a tryline dropout.
47’
Commentary
Stormers win the lineout, drive forward and win another penalty, Libbok kicking it from the 5m line into touch for the lineout…
46’
Commentary
Edinburgh drive forward into the Stormers half… they drive to the left touchline where the attack is broken down by the Stormers who counter… then Edinburgh counter… and Willemse wins the ball and kicks deep down into the Edinburgh corner. What a passage of play - like watching Centre Court at Wimbledon.

Commentary
Edinburgh press forward, but the Stormers reclaim possession and Libbok kicks to touch, driving Edinburgh back to the halfway line.
