FT: Stormers 32-28 Harlequins
While we wait for the second half, here's a reminder of what we have seen in the Champions Cup already today...
The Stormers reached the Heineken Champions Cup quarter-finals for the first time despite three late Harlequins tries in Cape Town.
In a blistering start, the hosts' Deon Fourie and Alex Dombrandt of Quins exchanged tries before Steven Kitshoff re-established Stormers' lead.
Fourie doubled his tally before Damian Willemse's finish and a Willie Engelbrecht score added the gloss.
Dombrandt, Andre Esterhuizen and Joe Marchant scored late consolations.

Well, after live texting on that and the Stormers-Harlequins game I'm all worn out as Larry Grayson would say.
Here's Mantej Mann to guide you through what I hope is another 40 minutes of high octane rugby!
