Don’t be fooled by that winning margin, the Stormers conceded a try when desperately trying to keep the ball alive behind the tryline as they vainly attempted to go the length of the field for a score. Instead Jean-Luc du Plessis’ little attempted kick pass bounced off a Glasgow player and Ross Thomson dotted down to make it two tries in the space of a few minutes.
The try came in the 60th minute when the Warriors were leading 6-0 so, with Libbok missing the conversion, it was a one point game, with the Stormers down 6-5. It was game on, with skipper Salmaan Moerat about to come back after being yellow carded for one of those unfortunate rugby collisions. It was weird that Feinberg-Mngomezulu was taken off just after his assist for the first try for the situation was crying out for him to take over the place-kicking. The youngster is far more reliable from the tee, and a future where he plays centre and is the first choice kicker isn’t that far fetched.
That made the field slippery and rendered handling difficult, but worse than that was the wind. The hosts started with a strong wind at their back, and they would have felt they might be a bit short when they went to halftime 6-0 ahead given that the Stormers would have that wind at their back in the second half.
