Southern Kings sad exit

By

The DHL Stormers outscored the Southern Kings eight tries to three, with How Jones and Leolin Zas scoring seven tries between them. The win in Cape Town was of academic nature because the home team had already secured the Africa Conference 1 title before the weekend’s clash.

The Cape side lost wing Kobus van Wyk and flyhalf Jean-Luc du Plessis to injuries. Scottish international Jones had a storming game and he scored four tries with his pace and power. He was joined on the scoreboard by Junior Springbok Zas, who helped himself to a hat-trick.

The half-time score was 21-10 in favour of the hosts, who saw fly half Du Plessis went off with an injury just before the break. He was replaced by Brandon Thomson, who also scored a try plus he slotted three conversions. The PE visitors never gave up and were rewarded with three tries, scored by Malcolm Jaer, Wandile Mjekevu, Stefan Watermeyer.
