Stormers smash Eagles

Winger Leolin Zas scored three tries in the Stormers' 40-15 win against the SWD Eagles in George on Saturday.

The first hitout of the Stormers' pre-season programme was a success as far as try-scoring was concerned. The Cape franchise started the match slowly, scoring two tries to finish the half 14-0 ahead. After the break, however, they added four more tries to their tally.

Coach Robbie Fleck took a 30-man squad to George. Wholesale changes were made at half-time, as Fleck sought to give most of the players game time.

Stormers – Tries: Leolin Zas (3), Kurt Coleman, Nizaam Carr, Khanyo Ncgukana. Conversions: Coleman (2), Robert du Preez (3).
SWD Eagles – Tries: Gershwin Muller, Christo du Plessis. Conversion: Hansie Graaf. Penalty: Leegan Moos
