The Lions spoiled the Stormers' delayed United Rugby Championship (URC) homecoming with a crushing 37-19 win at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.

They did that with aplomb against a Stormers team that opted not to deploy all their heavy Bok artillery for the this match and they were hit by wing Sergeal Petersen's eleventh-hour withdrawal.Defensive errors, even off first phase also served to undermine the home team.

The always-on-the-move Tshituka used that momentum by charging through midfield before offloading a long pass to Francke Horn who raced in unchallenged. The hosts chirped referee Marius van der Westhuizen after conceding a scrum penalty and after being marched back 10m the penalty became kickable for Zeilinga. He duly raised the flag and soon after the hosts again caught the ref's attention when captain Salmaan Moerat tackled an opponent in the process of collecting the still-aerial restart.
