Stormers’ belief grows after landmark URC triumph

Cape Times

|

December 01, 2025

THE Stormers are starting to believe they can win anywhere. Their dramatic comeback victory over Munster at Thomond Park — their first ever there in the United Rugby Championship (URC) — has only strengthened that belief.

- LEIGHTON KOOPMAN

The inaugural champions edged the clash in Limerick 27-21 after trailing 6-21 at halftime, with the hosts firmly in control for most of the opening stanza.

The Cape side struggled for rhythm and couldn't generate much on attack, yet they hung in just well enough before the break to keep themselves within striking distance.

After a sharp halftime talk and a few well-timed substitutions, the Stormers roared back with three unanswered tries to complement a pair of penalty goals. Their defence tightened brilliantly, shutting out Munster completely in the second half to seal a memorable victory.

They now stand as the only unbeaten team in the URC and the outright log leaders after six matches in the new season.
