The Stormers, despite injury setbacks, managed to maintain their perfect record against the Welsh side with a scintillating 14-try performance. The Cape side scored five tries in the first half, leading 33-14 at the break, and added three more in the second half, reaching a score of 40-all before the final whistle. The game saw numerous substitutions due to injuries, with players such as Deon Fourie and André-Hugo Venter unable to continue. Nthutuko Mchunu also left the field due to a shoulder injury, though he continued playing until being substituted early in the second half. The Stormers' defense struggled at times, conceding six tries, which left fans apprehensive about a potential upset. However, only two tries by Yaqeen Ahmed secured the victory for the Stormers.",
