It places his November tour with the Springbok s in doubt if the injury is anything more than a niggle.
It was perhaps a sign of things to come for the Stormers who were the better of the sides in the first period, but an inspired second 40 from the Warriors showed just why they are the defending champions. The Stormers did finally manage to open the scoring with time running out before the break, when a well-worked move saw Damian Willemse dot down next to the upright. Manie Libbok added the extra two to make it 7-0 to the hosts with just over five minutes left in the first half. The try, however, came at a cost as Willemse appeared to sustain a groin injury in his sprint for the line.
