    Marcus Smith is isolated collecting a kick on halfway and snaffled up by a phalanx of Stormers. Not something a fly-half ever likes to endure.

    He lands it from just inside the Quins half, ignoring the Mexican Wave that usually indicates that a crowd is losing interest. With an 18-point lead, they may have a point.

    Try - Damian Willemsepublished at 48 mins

    Stormers 22-7 Harlequins

    Magical stuff from the full-back!

    Seabelo Senatla somehow flicks a bouncing ball back into Damian Willemse, but the number 15 then acrobatically goes head over heels by the corner flag to touch it down. The referee gives it on field, and replays show his toes were just inside the line.

    Spectacular stuff, and does that give the hosts momentum?

    It's a double movement and it's not a try to Suleiman Hartzenberg.

    HT: Stormers 17-7 Harlequins

    That was a half that started brilliantly but as it wore on became more and more scrappy, There were not many sustained passages of decent play, and with the benches set to be emptied in the second half and the warm weather, you just wonder if the Stormers will have too much for Harlequins?

  13. Half-timepublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    Stormers 17-7 Harlequins

    They kick to the corner at a penalty, but eventually Quins concede a penalty and pass up the chance to reduce the arrears to end the first half.

    Stormers lead by 10 at the interval.

    Quins take it into the red zone after 40 minutes with an excellent spell of pressure from a scrum infield, but the Stormers defence is as solid as a rock.

    Harlequins force a few penalties to edge downfield before Marcus Smith kicks for the corner. Can they do the lineout-drive thing again before the break?

    The game's fifth scrum actually is completed, Stormers chip to the Quins line but the mark is claimed. Marcus Smith chips it downfield before a bit of you kick, we kick until there is a pause for Wilco Louw to be seen to for treatment.

    Seabelo Senatla flies down the left flank but he is stopped by a fine Northmore-Marchant pincer movement. Joe Marler makes sure Stormers don't get it back.
