For once this season, the Stormers shed their habit of delivering lukewarm second halves and it worked a treat as they ensured a home round of 16 playoff with a bonus point 30-16 triumph over Clermont.

Depth seems abundant in Durban after the Sharks gained a comfortable Currie Cup victory by 35-20 over Western Province at King's Park on Wednesday night.
