The Stormers delivered a commanding performance against Leinster, securing a convincing 35-0 victory at DHL Stadium. Jurie Matthee opened the scoring with a penalty in the sixth minute, followed by another before halftime. The second half saw an explosive start when Stefan Ungerer scored a try just after the break, converted by Matthee. Evan Roos emerged as a standout player, scoring two tries, one in the 62nd minute and another shortly after, showcasing his powerful running. Matthee capped off a fine individual performance with a try of his own, contributing significantly to the scoreline. Leinster struggled to find their rhythm and faced discipline issues, with two yellow cards hampering their efforts. This match marked a significant turnaround for the Stormers after their previous defeat to Leinster earlier in the year.
