The Stormers are one win away from competing in back-to-back United Rugby Championship finals after they beat Bulls in front of 44 000 spectators in a riveting North/South derby at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.
That left Kurt-Lee Arendse starting on the wing as Moodie's replacement, but the Bulls had lost a huge x-factor presence and were forced into a significant tactical reshuffle.The Stormers were quick out the blocks, making a bright start as they set up back-to-back 5m lineouts. The maul defence on both occasions was strong from Bulls as Deon Fourie, back in the Stormers starting line-up, lost control trying to reach over the line to score.
Libbok had the crowd on their feet once more on 26 minutes with another superb run that was matched only by his distribution. His pass found Angelo Davids on the right wing, but the speedster was stopped just short of the line as he got away a pass in-field. Libbok, again, knocked it over from the left touchline and with a 17-0 lead, the Stormers looked to be home and dry already and the Bulls buried.
The refereeing was a major talking point already at the break, and tensions were at an all-time high when the second period kicked off.
