But on a night where they only breached the Crusaders line once — in the seventh minute when Kolisi ran on to a beautiful‚ flat pass from flyhalf Josh Stander to score — there were no guarantees a try would follow from a kick to touch. Replacement flyhalf Jean-Luc du Plessis stepped up and duly slotted the penalty‚ which ended a seven-match losing sequence against the Crusaders since 2011. It was also the first draw between the sides in their 22nd meeting.

On a weekend when all the teams in the SA Conference that played‚ won‚ the Stormers lost ground on their rivals despite two points against the best team in the competition. Stormers coach Robbie Fleck also felt Kolisi’s decision to secure two log points was the right one under the circumstances.
