Stormers rue poor kicking display

Johannesburg - Once the Chiefs turned on the heat, the Stormers found themselves out in the cold and their impressive four-match winning streak came to an end with a 28-19 Super Rugby defeat in front of a near-capacity crowd Newlands on Saturday.

Chiefs coach Dave Rennie said after the match that his side seemed to cope better with the prevailing energy-sapping conditions at sunny Newlands.

"The Stormers looked like they were tiring towards the end of the match," said Rennie. "We're a very fit side and it looked like we were coping well.
