South Africa's Stormers struck twice late to break Welsh hearts as Scarlets fell in a wild 14-try United Rugby Championship shootout.
South African pride is on show in the United Rugby Championship. The Stormers outlasted Welsh side Scarlets in a 14-try thriller, and a late double settled it.
Fourteen tries tells you how this one went. Neither side could defend for long, and the match swung back and forth as attack after attack broke the line. The Scarlets stayed in the contest right to the closing stages and gave the Cape Town outfit plenty to think about.
The Stormers kept their composure when it mattered. They hit back with two tries late on, and the Scarlets had no answer. The Welsh side will feel they deserved more from a match they pushed to the wire.
For the Stormers, it is another example of South African rugby's pace, power and ability to finish games. For the Scarlets, it is a painful lesson in how little room there is for error in this competition.
