12:24 - Thanks for joining us this morning.

Up next: Force v Chiefs (13:00) followed by the Lions v Reds (17:05) and Bulls v Sharks (19:10)


12:22 - The Brumbies win 25-15.

The Stormers leave Canberra empty-handed.

Heartbreak for the Cape side who have now lost all three of their tour matches


12:21 - Nic White adds the CONVERSION and the full-time whistle sounds


12:21 - Referee Glen Jackson awards the Brumbies a penalty try as they monster the Stormers scrum for literally the first time in the match!


12:21 - PENALTY TRY!


12:20 - Scrum collapses and needs to be reset as time ticks by...


12:19 - 2 minutes to play and the Brumbies have a 3-point lead and a 5m scrum from the Stormers tryline


12:18 - Horror lineout from the Stormers on defence led to the Brumbies crashing over - but the TMO rules it's held up


12:18 - TMO called into action as the Brumbies think they've scored...


12:16 - Brumbies lead 18-15 with 3:30 to play.

Brumbies are on a final warning for infringements


12:16 - Grant surely can't miss again - BUT HE DOES!


12:15 - Dancing feet by Juan de Jongh sees him score for the visitors!


12:15 - TRY!


12:14 -  The Stormers get another penalty for hands in the ruck, but it's near the touchline.

Grant puts it into touch - to his relief no doubt he wasn't asked to pick at posts...


12:12 - 7:30 to play. Currently the Stormers aren't picking up any bonus points


12:12 - AWFUL match by Grant - only problem is that Catrakilis is no better!


12:11 - Penalty to the Stormers - but Grant hits the left-hand upright from right in front!


12:11 - And what a fantastic run it is - into the Brumbies' 22m in the flash of an eye.


12:09 - White horribly off target - and the Stormers elect not to dot the ball down and have a run!


12:08 - Tiaan Liebenberg is penalised for pulling the maul down.

Nic White will have a shot at goal


12:05 - Brumbies tossing the ball around with gay abandon in their own 22m area. Mogg forced into a hurried clearance which doesn't find any  great distance


12:04 - TWEET

Shocker from Van Wyk! Both in going up for the kick, then shepherding the ball ... Try time Brumby ... Amazingly opportunist try - Front Row Grunt


12:02 - Brumbies lead 18-10 after 63 minutes


12:02 - Van Wyk, clearly expecting the ball to go into touch, can only watch as Coleman picks it up and scores!


12:01 - Robbie Coleman gets his second of the night after an absolute HOWLER by Stormers wing Kobus van Wyk!


12:01 - TRY!


12:00 - POTENTIAL BLOOPER OF THE YEAR AWARD!


12:00 - Sailosi Tagicakibau off, replaced by Juan de Jongh


11:59 - Kolisi obviously still feeling the effects of the concussion as he's now replaced permanently by Carr


11:58 - And now it's the Stormers' chance to be penalised for holding on in the tackle as they make a foray into the Brumbies' 22m


11:57 - Jordan Smiler off for the Brumbies, replaced by Jack Whetton - the son of legendary All Black, Gary Whetton


11:54 - The Stormers keeping themselves in the game by forcing the Brumbies into silly errors - and keeping the ball in front of their forwards with a number of chip kicks 


11:53 - Aplon down in a lot of pain. Leg injury. Could be a dead leg for the fullback


11:52 - No change to the 13-10 half-time score after 15 minutes of the second half


11:52 - Kolisi back on the field. He obviously passed the concussion test one would assume...


11:51 - But Nic White misses!


11:49 - It ends in a penalty to the Brumbies which they elect to kick at posts...


11:48 - The Brumbies are rumbling forward through their pack. Ninth phase...

How will this end up... ?


11:47 - Penalty to the Brumbies after a high tackle. They set up a lineout 10m from the Stormers' tryline


11:44 - The Stormers awarded another penalty as Deon Fourie somewhat luckily is given the benefit of the doubt that he didn't go off his feet while trying to effect the turnover


11:43 - Concussion test for Kolisi. Nizaam Carr on in his place


11:42 - Wing Kobus van Wyk is MONSTERED in a tackle from Jordon Smiler!

But hats off to the winger as he gets back up.


11:41 - But the Brumbies repay the favour by throwing in skew at the lineout!

Very generous by both sides in the opening 7 minutes of the second half


11:41 - Grant having something of a nightmare as he kicks out on the full


11:40 - High tackle by the Brumbies. But unlucky as Groom ducked into the tackle somewhat.


11:39 - Oh come on Stormers!

Now Gio Aplon fails to find touch as Jesse Mogg runs it back.


11:38 - The Brumbies throwing it around like a hot potato and making metres, but they concede a penalty when they hold on as Duane Vermeulen gets the high-fives from his team-mates


11:37 - The Stormers will have what breeze there is at their backs


11:37 - Early penalty to the Stormers but Grant fails to find touch. URGH!


11:37 - AND WE'RE UNDER WAY IN THE SECOND HALF!

11:12 - TMO call as the referee asks for a potential dangerous tackle against one of the Stormers players...


11:10 - A brilliant break from Gio Aplon is halted when the Brumbies intercept his inside pass...

Stormers set up an attacking lineout.


11:00 - Stormers probing hard close to the tryline...


10:58 - The Stormers win a penalty just inside the Brumbies half. But it's too far out for Grant so they set up an attacking lineout - on the Brumbies 22m line.


10:55 -  A promising Brumbies attack close to the Stormers 22m line goes awry with a knock-on...

Grant boots up-field...
