The Stormers United Rugby Championship URC title aspirations were extinguished after a valiant semifinal showdown against defending champions Leinster in Dublin on Saturday night.
It was a brutal clash that saw an incredible defensive effort from the Cape visitors almost help them upset the heavy favourites, before ill-discipline proved costly, as they slipped to a 20-11 defeat .
Three yellow cards in the second half, one that was deservedly upgraded to a red, made the difference as Leinster saw out the win, after they were pushed to the brink by a fighting Stormers team.
