The Bulls have had a bigger hold on the match than what the score line would suggest but a few harsh calls for the Stormers might be the reason for this. The Stormers suffered two yellow cards in the first half which meant that they were on the backfoot for majority of the 40 minutes. Bulls will be looking forward to the second half thanks to 143 tackles from the Stormers and 20 from the hosts. This could mean that the Stormers will show some signs of fatigue as the time goes on.

That's the half!
