WATCH: Double for Ruhan Nel as Stormers put bodies on the line to beat Rebels
A Ruhan Nel second-half double set up a surprise 41-24 victory for the Stormers over the Rebels at AAMI Park on Friday.
The performance was even more impressive considering the Stormers were without a host of regulars, including senior Springboks such as captain Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth and Pieter-Steph du Toit. The Rebels went hard through a wave of attacks, only to be met by a committed Stormers defence, where a host of young players put their bodies on the line.
Assistant coach Paul Feeney had said midweek that the bounce of the ball hadn’t favoured the Stormers thus far this season. This all changed in the Victorian capital, with the Cape side preying on any mistake the Rebels made on the night.
