The Stormers delivered a commanding performance against Cardiff Rugby, winning 44-21 at DHL Stadium. Cardiff took an early lead with a try from Winnett, converted by Lloyd. However, the Stormers quickly responded with three tries in the first half, including a standout performance by Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who contributed significantly to their score. The home side capitalized on Cardiff's yellow cards, extending their lead further before halftime. Cardiff managed a resurgence with tries from Basham and Botham, but it was not enough to close the gap. The Stormers maintained their intensity, scoring several more tries, including one from Feinberg-Mngomezulu himself. This victory allowed the Stormers to claim the win decisively, reversing their previous loss to Cardiff earlier in the month.
