Jantjies stars as Stormers down Highlanders

Despite scoring four tries the Stormers were unable to secure a bonus point as they allowed the Highlanders in for three second half tries.

But the win also appeared to come at a cost as Pieter-Steph du Toit and Siya Kolisi both cried off with injury. It was his try six minutes before the break that really stamped the Stormers’ authority on the scoreboard after dominating the half.He ran at full pace on to a flat pass, which he took slightly behind him, before rounding the last defender to score.

Fullback Damian Willemse, De Allende and wing Seabelo Senatla had superb matches, but they were not alone. He scored a well taken try when running a smart angle after Senatla broke the line to set the Stormers on their way. Smith pulled the strings beautifully in that period and eventually the Highlanders created enough pressure for centre Sio Tomkinson to score after a multi-phase build-up.
