Following the Stormers ’ 17-13 defeat to Edinburgh, here’s how we rated John Dobson’s charges in the United Rugby Championship round two clash at the Hive Stadium.
15 Warrick Gelant: Tried to create and spark the attack but had little success when doing so and when he did later in the game, Wandisile Simelane was unable to stay in the field of play. Countered reasonably well but often made his job harder with poor positioning. 4
14 Seabelo Senatla: Lively throughout. He visited the sin bin for a professional foul and rightly so, but was still one of the best on the park today. Relentless. 7
13 Ruhan Nel (c): The Stormers skipper is the side’s defensive leader and that was a standout facet of Dobson’s side’s performance this evening. Very few opportunities in attack, though. 5
