Easy peasy for the Brums. If the Cheetahs can beat the Stomps then surely?

Stormers 3 - Brums 13

Tomane picks up crumbs and shows good speed to score.

Lilo is kicking his way into wallaby gold so far, White erratic.

Stormers are missing a trick here. Every time they knock on they have a guaranteed scrum penalty as a result. The key for them is to keep losing the ball as much as possible and decimate the Brumbies with the inevitable scrum penalties.

Interesting half. Brumbies 16-9 at the break. On the face of it the Stormers couldn't have played much worse and the Brumbies seem better. But the Stormers know every time they lose possession it is a net positive for them due to the inevitable scrum penalty that follows and that edge is keeping them alive.

Great forward battle but lots of dropped balls from the Stormers. This can be easily fixed at half time. Their try-line defence is superb. Brumbies need to stay strong and I imagine it will take some individual brilliance to crack their line.

Anyone notice how good Lilo's defence is? Tackling is becoming very strong and dominate.

Stormers back to 16-15. 50 mins. Penalty count out to 13-4, over half in scrums, reflecting the complete forwards dominance of the Stormers. Brumbies looking more enterprising but just not in the forwards contest, especially in the scrums.

White has been extremely poor.

Throws a forward pass on his own try line and then Smiler sent off for a dangerous tackle earlier that was missed by officials. 5m scrum Stormers. Wouldn't be surprised to see a penalty try here.

Falling apart for the Brumbies, it's hard to see them getting any points out of this one.

Stormers 22-16.

Penalty count now 19-4. Most in scrums. Labouring the point but easily the most one-sided scrum/forwards contest of the year. Stormers have otherwise been appalling and Brumbies OK.

Stuart Berry effect has been in full effect this 2nd half but Lealiifano could've got them out of it. Lost for words. Totally unacceptable at the professional level, should fine him his match fee or something.
