The Stomers’ have managed to secured their second major away win of 16-6 against long time local rivals sharks, in the space of a fortnight. The Stomers’, who’ve remained unbeaten in all their matches including friendlies, have taken their victory incredibly well showing no signs of arrogance.
This leaves the Stormers still on top of the log after six matches – some other teams have played seven – but coach Allister Coetzee knows that the challenge never stops. He would have noted that Will Genia, the Reds captain, spoke quite a bit about the Stormers after his team’s win over the Lions at the weekend, and if you look at the log situation, Saturday’s clash between the two teams at Newlands is another massive one.
The Reds are currently joint second on the overall log with the Crusaders, and a loss for the Stormers on Saturday could see them over-taken in the battle for pole position.

Baroka FC caused the greatest upset this weekend when they trashed PSL side Moroka Swallows 2 – 1 the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup match played at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Thanks to second half goals by Katlego Mashego and Mashilo Moremi, while Swallows got their consolation goal from the boot of Augustine Leonard. Baroka FC’s top goal-scorer, Thobani Mncwango, was a constant threat for the Swallows defense.
