The Stormers start their United Rugby Championship (URC) campaign with a bonus-point victory over Connacht at Galway, winning 29-15. Multiple reports highlight that the match is decided late, with additional tries extending the Stormers’ lead as the game closes.
South African outlets describe the result as a strong “perfect” or winning start, with the Stormers collecting a full haul of points in their first outing of the season. IOL adds that late tries by debutants Vernon Paulo and Ezekiel Ngobeni play a key role in turning the contest into a five-point win, while other coverage focuses on the overall second-half performance and the bonus-point outcome rather than the individual scorers.
All accounts agree on the opponent, the venue, the final score, and that the Stormers claim the bonus point to begin their URC season on a positive note.
