Cape Town - The Stormers went down to the Brumbies in their Super Rugby encounter at Newlands on Saturday.
As it happened: Stormers v Brumbies
The men from Canberra won 19-17, after leading 12-10 at half-time.
The Stormers dominated territory and possession for large parts but, as usual, their finishing let them down.
The hosts opted against taking several kickable penalties and knocked on countless balls in promising attacking positions.
In next weekend's action, the Stormers host the Bulls at Newlands (Saturday, April 27), while the Brumbies travel to Argentina to face the Jaguares (Saturday, April 27).
