The Stormers clinched a much-needed bonus point win over the Lions to boost their position in the URC standings.
The Stormers outmuscled the Lions to secure a crucial 29-10 bonus point victory at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Saturday afternoon.
And the red card in question came about after Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu was high tackled by Erich Cronje, whose his midfield partner Marius Louw only made matters worse by coming in as the secondary tackler on the star playmaker. Springbok Edwill van der Merwe scored a sensational individualistic try soon after the restart, but it was immediately cancelled out by another touchdown for the Stormers, this time by speedster Leolin Zas.
Did you hear that Saturday, 21 December is the summer solstice in South Africa, but were too afraid to ask what that meant?
