Whilst Stormers have played the more exciting rugby, handling errors have really stifled their efforts. The slippery ball has proved difficult to maintain for long periods. Stormers with 53% of possession and 49% of territory so far.

Possession has been divided a lot more evenly in the last ten minutes; Kings growing in confidence. After racking up a number of phases in the Stormers' half, Whitehead opts for a drop-goal to close the gap. No luck however.

Late replacement, Whitehead, narrows the gap to three when the Stormers are penalised at scrum-time.

Andries Strauss gifts Stormers with another three points when he rushes out of the line prematurely and concedes an offside penalty. Pieterson makes no mistakes with the kick. Stormers showing plenty of desire early on. Rather than relying on Pietersons lethal kicking form, they've looked to create try-scoring opportunities, applying huge pressure in the Kings' twenty-two.

Pieterson knocks over penalty number one from a comfortable position. Stormers retaining ball well so far, really testing the Kings' defences.

Wet, greasy conditions in Cape Town.

Late Southern King Replacement: Demetri Catrakilis has been withdrawn following concerns over a calf injury. Whitehead replaces him, and Adongo fills into the bench.

Hello and welcome. Tonight, the Stormers welcome tournament newbies, the Southern Kings, to Cape Town. After finishing top of the South African conference in 2011 and 2012, the Stormers have had a relatively poor season. They sit 11th in the table, while Kings sit 13th. Stormers look favourites at home, but the Kings will be highly motivated as they've yet to win a South African derby. Kick off on the way!
