Stormers looking industrious again. Bad pass from Petersen halts the movement.

Good attack Stormers only to cough it up 10m from the line. Poor pass from Kolisi. DA looking much better distributing the ball.

McDermott got away from Van Dyk too easily there.

Cross kick from DA and we may have a try for the Stormers.

Nope, grounded on the dead ball line, no try.

Willemse counters, hard offload to Petersen who didn't seem to expect it. Another Stormers attack breaks down through poor handling.

Sustained Stormers attack, DA feeds Petersen who does well to get to the line from a standing start. Checking for touchline. Touch and go on the grounding and the foot in touch.

Looks like foot first, then grounding, no try surely. Stormers can't get a break. DA passing well today and creating opportunities.

Stormers have used DA at flyhalf a fair bit so far.

Kickable penalty to Reds for a high tackle by Wiese .

They go for touch, win another penalty, probably touch again.

Reds mistake the touchline for the tryline and nearly maul it over. Can't get it back, Stormers scrum.

Poor clearance Philips, Reds counter, penalized for obst ruction as they're about to break through.

DA again first receiver. Klein Carel hasn't had much to do so far.

Good turnover Stormers only for Philips to kick it away.

Another dropped pass Stormers, Malherbe this time.

Malherbe struggle at 3. Not much better than useless Coenie.

Stormers win a scrum penalty. Could set up one last attack before the half. Lineout halfway.

Another long wide pass straight to the wing from the Stormers. Gives him little chance as he is crowded for space immediately. Reds get it, K olisi gets a yellow at the breakdown.

Half time 0-0. Both teams lacking in execution.

I tuned in very late. It seems that a couple of players are on this rotational resting program ... to limit the amount of rugby for certain players before the WC. Think PSdT is one of those players.

thanks Rooie.

I think Pieter-Steph needed the rest anyway. If I'm not mistaken he'd played every minute of every game up until this weekend.

Samu Kerevi scores. It's already a better second half!

Try Reds, wide pass beats the Stormers defense and a simple pass back to Kerevi seals the deal.

Klein Carel runs into the post in the background. Having trouble sidestepping inanimate objects.

Good touchfinder McDermott. Reds on attack.

Kerevi half break and offload. Reds one offload away from scoring twice. Still camped on the line and they get the try eventually.

Kolisi's absence has hurt the Stormers.

Kickable penalty Stormers but they go for touch. Lineout 10m out. Kolisi back on.

Coetzee carrying strongly and helps the Stormers to a penalty.

Jantjies on for Philips who was no great shakes to be honest.

Van Dyk scores. Stormers back in it, 7-14.

Willemse marks and misses touch, Reds attack.

Kerevi sends Nel flying.

Kerevi beats Nbonambi only to throw a horrible offload.
