FULL-TIME! STORMERS 48-12 DRAGONS. A magnificent performance from the home side, displaying some world-class ball-handling and running as they demolished the Dragons!

SO CLOSE! Willemse's conversion attempt passes the near post by a foot…excellent effort.

TRY, DRAGONS, BLACKER! 29-10; From the scrum the Dragons ruck up to a metre short of the tryline, from where Dane Blacker picks the ball up from the back of the ruck and dives over a bundle of bodies to touchdown for another five points. Smart thinking!

Dragons press upfield and into the Stormers' 22m, putting great pressure on the Stormers and driving them over their tryline for a scrum five-metres.

Stormers keep the pressure up on the Dragons, winning a penalty two steps past the Dragons' 10m line for off-sides.

Stormers win their scrum just short of the Dragons 10m line… they run the ball, Feinberg-Mngomezulu chips forward and races to collect, but it's just too deep and, despite a lunge, can't gather the ball.

Stormers run the blindside… looking dangerous… but the last pass is just too high and slips through two willing Stormers hands and out for throwin.

CONVERSION, STORMERS, FEINBERG-MNGOMEZULU! 29-5; The Stormers flyhalf again starting his kick in line with the near post, with the ball fading beautifully through the posts for two extra points. Excellent kick.

What a magnificent try!

PENALTY, STORMERS, FEINBERG-MNGOMEZULU! 17-5; Feinberg-Mngomezulu starts his kick in line with the near-post, but it fades beautifully to bisect the poles. He must have been thinking about tomorrow's round of golf!

OUCH! Senatla rises to catch an attacking high ball into the Dragons 22… but his leading knee catches Huw Anderson in the rib. He needs a minute of medicl attention, but the Stormers are awarded a penalty and Feinberg-Mngomezulu lines up his kick from the 22, 15m to the left of the poles.

TRY, DRAGONS, WAINWRIGHT! 14-5; Brilliant driving from the Dragons through the 5m line. Aaron Wainwright peels off from the back of the maul and powers his way over the line for the try, literally breaking through a line of three Stormers defenders. What strength… but the conversion is pulled wide.

KICK-OFF! The second half gets underway with the Storms 14-0 to the good… but with one man short for the next nine minutes…

HALF-TIME, STORMERS 14-0 DRAGONS. So disappointing for the Stormers to have that try just before half-time written off. Great first-half performance from the Stormers… the Dragons struggling to stay in the Stormers' rear-view mirror. Can the Dragons fight back in the second half?

YELLOW CARD, STORMERS, MOERAT! Stormers skipper Salmaan Moerat is given 10 minutes of reflection time for an infringement. There wasn't a lot of pressure in the tackle…  and as he questions the ref about a high tackle on Feinberg-Mngomezulu his query is dismissed and he is told to leave the field.

Another lovely passing move from the Stormers, Senatla with the perfect pass to release Willemse down the left flank… he hurdles a tackle but goes to ground, bounces to his feet and scratches his way over the line after being tackled again. What determination. But hand on… the TMO is having a look at this…

CONVERSION, STORMERS, FEINBERG-MNGOMEZULU! 14-0; Superb kick from the left touchline.

TRY, STORMERS, SENATLA! 12-0; Seabelo Senatla somersaults over in the left corner to round off try that start with a quick throw in from , the ball was spread across the backline, with Joseph Dweba drawing his man at pace and releasing Senatla to sprint through for the try without opposition.

Dan Lydiate goes off the field for an HIA assessment… from the dazed look on his face, it's a test he's going to struggle to pass.

Stormers drive powerfully into the Dragons 10m, pressing forward; Theunissen bursts for the line, is ankle-tapped and lands just 5m short, gets to his feet but is swamped by Dragons as he heaves over the line, but there are Dragons underneath him, so there's no try. Great power-play from the Stormers though.
