The Stormers secured a hard-fought 29-21 victory over the Dragons in Cape Town, moving back to second place in the United Rugby Championship. Stormers boss John Dobson had emphasized the importance of reaching the top four for home advantage in the playoffs, and his team delivered despite a nervy performance.

Stormers led 14-7 at halftime through two tries from Feinberg-Mngomezulu, but the Dragons responded through Davies after losing flanker Harry Beddall to a head injury. The visitors kept the pressure on, with Williams nearly scoring before Stormers extended their lead with a penalty. Stormers finally got their third try through Roos in the 50th minute after a dominant scrum.

Dragons refused to roll over, with Young scoring his first try for the club and Dyer crossing late to make it an eight-point game. However, Stormers held on for the bonus-point win. The result leaves Dragons below Scarlets in the table, while Stormers strengthen their playoff positioning in a congested URC race.
