Jake White's Vodacom Bulls are properly positioned to finish top two in the @Vodacom #URC, but don't dismiss the Stormers' top four prospects. They are too good a side not to go on a home surge in the back end of the league season, writes @mark_keohane. https://t.co/Om9jYcCMuo

This Stormers side defies explanation. They make the rookie mistakes one minute but then next minute they just brush it off and score a try. Not good for the hearts of their fans😄
✅ The bounce ✅ The finish 🐂 Canan Moodie goes over for the Bulls! #BULvSTO #URC https://t.co/VAnaXKPt9j
Tense, physical 1st half of rugby. The Bulls capitalised on the Stormers errors well early on, were methodical and looked to have a slight advantage at the scrum. However, the Stormers just kept rolling the dice till something works, it has 3 times and it's 19-15. #BULvSTO
⛈️ Here was the Stormers' response through Ben Loader. #BULvSTO #URC https://t.co/DvFahSHXiM
🐂 The packed out crowd enjoyed this from the Bulls! #BULvSTO #URC https://t.co/VgmAQ8nJsw
Going to be interesting to see how the Stormers come back to win this one. Lots of mistakes from the halfbacks so far and the Bulls have punished almost every one.

Really frantic start to the game from the Stormers, with the Bulls managing the pressure much better. If it was another team, I might be worried now, but the Stormers have always been pretty comfortable in chaos. #BULvSTO
