The Stormers' remarkable winning streak was brought crashing to a halt in emphatic fashion on Sunday as they were overwhelmed 61-10 by Harlequins in a one-sided Champions Cup Round Three encounter in London, Cape town Etc reports.
Having arrived in England on the back of 10 straight victories across all competitions, the Capetonians were unrecognisable as the hosts ran riot, crossing for nine tries in a ruthless attacking display that exposed the visitors from the opening minutes until the final whistle.
Harlequins wasted no time asserting control, dominating the collisions early on before Jack Kenningham crashed over in the seventh minute to set the tone. The pressure continued to mount and four minutes later a charged-down kick proved costly for the Stormers, with the ball quickly moved wide for Cadan Murley to sprint in unchallenged.
