The unbeaten Stormers will return to United Rugby Championship action this coming weekend with a big home north-south derby against the Bulls still top of the log after Munster failed to beat Leinster to take over first place.
A win by the former champions, Munster, against their Irish opponents, Leinster, on Saturday would have seen a change at the top of the points table, but the visitors to Limerick, Leinster, edged the derby 13-8.
The result means John Dobsons side are still top of the pile, even though they didnt play this last weekend and now have a game in hand over their nearest competitiors.
