After almost five minutes of extra time, the match concludes with a knock-on. Highly entertaining game of rugby. The Stormers took along time to get going but eventually began to dominate late in the game. Credit to a valiant Kings side who really tested the Stormers. They can pride themselves on a terrific defence and work ethic, and will fancy their chances in their relegation games against the Lions. Thanks for joining us, see you next time!

Exceptional individual effort from captain Fourie, securing victory for his side - He splits from a maul just inside the Kings' twenty-two, dances around one defender, bulldozes through two more, and touches down.

Not much to report in the last of ten minutes. Lots of attacking play, but neither side managing to break down the defences. Eventually the scoreboard begins to tick again when Strauss tackles deJongh high and is penalised accordingly. Jantjies steps up and converts to points.

Tensions are high in Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, as another shoving contest unfolds. This time Etzebeth strikes Bulbring in the face with an open hand. Amazingly, the referee gives another warning, and chooses not to consult the TMO. Very inconsistent, after giving a suspect yellow card earlier.

An opportunity goes a-begging for the Kings - Catrakillis kicks the ball high and Killian provides the chase; he collects and is brought down just inside the Stormers' twenty-two. The Kings quickly send the ball wide to Engelbrecht who fumbles the final pass which would've almost certainly lead to a try. Stormers recover possession and clear.

There's been no shortage of spice in this first half despite the table positions of both sides. The first half has been a frighteningly phsyical, and thoroughly entertaining red-blooded South African derby. Both teams giving their all, and a thriller of a second half to come.

The first try of the game comes in the 39th minutes, when the Stormers cross in a very typical South African fashion - setting a maul off the back of a line-out and bulldozing over the whitewash. Pietersons' kick has the distance but not the direction.

Catrikillis' penalty kick bounces of the uprights, but a Stormer player is taken out in the air as he attempts to collect the ricochetting ball. Stormers earn a penalty and boot to touch..
