The Stormers ended the weekend in a United Rugby Championship playoff spot after picking up a full house of points in their 29-17 win over the Scarlets in Llanelli.
After starting in 12th place, they jumped into seventh with the bonus-point victory in Wales.
With the Ospreys beating Connacht late on Saturday, the inaugural champions dropped into eighth, but reached a knockout spot and still hold their URC fate firmly in their hands with five rounds to go.
It took them a late score at Parc y Scarlets to snatch the five points, but director of rugby John Dobson was pleased with most of the performance.
He bemoaned the penalties they conceded, and how they almost chucked the win away with five minutes left.
