The Stormers victory over the Chiefs has come at a price as they have lost winger Bryan Habana to injury for 10 weeks.
Habana was stretchered off the pitch in the 55th minute of the match after being tackled by Sam Cane and fell awkwardly.
The Stormers have revealed that they think he has injured his Medial collateral ligament (MCL) which is an injury to the ligament on the inner part of the knee and the ligament keeps the shin bone (tibia) in place.
Habana will be sent for scans but coach Allister Coetzee suspects that the 10 week prediction could be on the conservative side.
French club Toulon have signed Habana on a three-year deal which starts at the end of this Super Rugby season so if his injury takes longer than expected he could have played his last game for the Stormers.
Habana confirmed on his Twitter account that he has been for the scan and was hoping for the best, " Waiting on results from scan... "
"Hopefully not too serious!!!!" said Habana on Twitter.
