The Stormers pile on five tries to crush Ulster 33-7 and leave the Irish province still hunting a first United Rugby Championship win.
South African rugby flexed its muscle on the big stage as the Stormers dismantled Ulster 33-7 in Cape Town. Five tries underlined the Cape side's quality in a United Rugby Championship that pits Africa's best against Europe's finest.
For the Stormers, this was a statement performance. They attacked with intent, finished their chances, and never let the Irish visitors build any real momentum. A five-try haul is the kind of return that tells you a team is clicking, and the Cape Town crowd had plenty to cheer.
Ulster, by contrast, are still waiting. Their search for a first win of the new URC campaign goes on after a heavy defeat, and a single try in reply will do little to settle nerves in the camp. The scoreline shows how far they have to go to turn their start around.
For the Stormers, it is another reminder of what South African sides bring to this competition: physicality, pace and ruthless finishing on home soil. Cape Town remains a tough place for any visiting team to get a result, and Ulster found that out the hard way.
