Stormers hold on to beat Griquas in entertaining Kimberley clash
Share
CAPE TOWN – The Stormers survived a second-half fightback to beat Griquas 38-32 in their Preparation Series match in Kimberley on Tuesday night.
While the Stormers got off to a good start with a converted try, Griquas wasted no time as they shot right out the blocks with an all-business attacking display, testing the Stormers’ defence and constantly threatening with ball in hand.
They seemed well in control in the opening quarter and got reward in the form of a try after inside centre Andre Swarts put in a top running line before offloading to put the experienced and hard-running wing Ederies Arendse into space to level the scores (7-7). They went three points up when the Stormers strayed offside, but the hosts took a knock, however, when scrumhalf Stefan Ungerer was yellow-carded, granting the Stormers an opportunity to draw level through flyhalf Kade Wolhuter’s boot (10-all).
