The Stormers’ spurned several kickable penalties and when they finally aimed one at the posts, flyhalf Josh Stander skewed it horribly wide. It summed up their afternoon.

Last weekend they produced a slick and clinical performance to beat the Rebels in Melbourne and eight days on, they stumbled and fumbled their way to a loss that has surely killed off any home play-off hopes.

As good as the Brumbies were on defence, the Stormers made it easier for them by being more predictable than a ‘knock-knock’ joke on attack. Brumbies wing Toni Pulu’s desperate high tackle on Herschel Jantjies five metres from the try line was initially ruled legal after the Stormers scrumhalf lost the ball when he hit the ground.
