Rising loose forward talent Paul de Villiers and Stormers captain Salmaan Moerat praised their teams ability to win with their backs against the wall, after they fought back from a halftime deficit to down the Lions in their United Rugby Championship URC derby in Cape Town on Saturday.

The Lions dominated the first half of the match, and the hosts were pretty lucky to only trail 17-10 at the break, before an improved second half performance, led by their bomb squad helped them bounced back for a 34-27 win.

Former Junior Springbok De Villiers is enjoying a breakout season for the Stormers and has won a number of man-of-the-match awards this season, including in the Champions Cup last week against La Rochelle, and he was at it again this weekend against the Lions.
