The Stormers held on for a thrilling United Rugby Championship victory over Irish outfit Ulster at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday. | Sport24news

The hosts were fast out the blocks and scored two eye-catching tries in the opening 10 minutes.

A couple of minutes later, however, Fourie was pinged in front of his own posts which allowed Ulster scrumhalf John Cooney to reduce the deficit to 17-10. Ulster started the second stanza on the front-foot, launching wave after wave of attack but the Stormers defence proved resolute. But just when it appeared as though the Stormers had weathered the storm, Dayimani put his team under more pressure with another high tackle, allowing Ulster to set up another attacking platform in the red zone.
