A second-half resurgence by the Stormers saw them being crowned the first United Rugby Championship (URC) winners on Saturday night in Cape Town.

The Stormers came back from a 7-3 deficit in the first half, to clinch the title with an 18-13 victory over the Bulls.

The visitors put up a dominant performance in the opening half, getting to the scoreboard first as early as the third minute thanks to a try from centre Harold Voster. Stormers flyhalf Manie Libbok, once again had a rocky start in slotting the ball between the posts and only managing three points in the first half with a late penalty.The winds changed in the second half as Evan Roos scored the Stormers scored their first try of the match to level the score 10-all after a penalty in the 42nd minute.

The visitors were reduced to 14 men, as Cornal Hendriks was sent to the sin bin for a dangerous tackle on Ruhan Nel. The Stormers took full advantage, crossing the whitewash for a second time in the game, as Venter dove over the line from a rolling maul, to take the lead for the first time in the match.
