DHL Stormers edged the Vodacom Bulls 26-20 in a tense South African derby in Cape Town that lifts the 2022 champions to seventh in the BKT United Rugby Championship.
The Stormers led for all-but 14 minutes of a match played in front of a crowd of 42,000 at DHL Stadium, with the kicking of Manie Libbok ultimately proving the difference.
The Springbok fly-half landed three penalties and two conversions on a flawless evening from the kicking tee, ensuring that the Bulls finished on the losing side despite outscoring with three tries to two.
