URC: THREE SA TEAMS ENTER THE MONTH-LONG BREAK IN A CONFIDENT MOOD

- Nicholas Zaal

Three South African teams recorded wins in the United Rugby Championship (URC) this weekend, heading into their month-long break with confidence.

They will need this, as after the Springboks return from their five-Test Euro tour, the local unions will have to balance URC and EPCR campaigns.

The Stormers continue to top the URC table after they recorded their fifth consecutive victory. Their first-ever away win against Benetton in Treviso came thanks to 23 unanswered points in the second half.

The Capetonians fought back from a 16-8 deficit to win 31-16, with flyhalf Jurie Mathee shining. He scored 21 points with three penalties, two conversions and a try.

The match concluded the Stormers’ best-ever overseas tour, with bonus-point wins against Scarlets and Zebre preceding it.
