Undefeated Stormers outmuscle Jaguares at wet Newlands

Cape Town - The Stormers beat the Jaguares 17-7 on Saturday to remain undefeated at Newlands this Super Rugby season.

The match was played in constant drizzle and that combined with the physical packs of both sides meant there wasn't much in the way of running rugby. 

The hosts took a 3-0 lead into half-time but did score two tries after the break through Springbok scrumhalf Herschel Jantjies and centre Ruhan Nel. 

That was enough to give the Stormers a 17-0 lead, but the Jaguares became the first side to score any points in 225 minutes of rugby at Newlands this season when Rodrigo Bruni scored after a sustained period of attack. 

It made for an interesting finish, but the Stormers defence held firm.

The win means the Stormers have won all four of their matches so far this season and they have solidified their position on top of the South African conference and the overall log.

Yes! Siya will only be 36 at the next World Cup. He can make it!

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
