    HT: Stormers 7-12 Munster

    Former South Africa player Breyton Paulse, speaking to Viaplay: "Munster’s intensity has been absolutely phenomenal. The variety of their play seems to have shocked the Stormers a bit. That said, Munster have failed to deliver the knockout blow and I think Stormers will feel lucky to go in at half-time only five points down."

Munster need to keep the pressure on, but they have been dominant."

    Although Gavin Coombes appeared to ground the ball, the call from the referee is he was tackled initially so it is a double movement. Looks like the correct call but a huge let off for the Stormers.
