Former player heaps misery on Lions teammates
By PA
The Stormers strengthened their grip on top spot in the United Rugby Championship’s South African Shield with a 32-10 bonus-point victory over the Lions.
John Dobson’s side were two points clear of the Sharks and the Bulls before kick-off and ensured they remained at the summit thanks to their win in Johannesburg.
Former Lion Hacjivah Dayimani touched down to give the Stormers a 10-3 lead at half-time before Seabelo Senatla and Sergeal Petersen added a pair of excellent team tries in the second period and Deon Fourie got their fourth late on.
Manie Libbok kicked 12 points for the visitors at Emirates Airline Park while the Lions looked like having to settle for a single penalty from the boot of Tiaan Swanepoel until Morne van den Berg produced a late consolation try, converted by the returning Jordan Hendrikse.
The Lions remain rooted to the foot of the South African Shield and two places off the bottom of the overall table.
Both sides travel to Ireland in a fortnight, with the Stormers visiting Connacht and the Lions taking on Leinster in Dublin.

Ten years ago we were discussing how
Australia had made the Giteu Law and how we didn’t have to to do anything like that because NZ produced more talent than Australia.
The current model only works if you are constantly producing players good enough to take over when players leave.
New Zealand will struggle to do this as time goes on because rugby is dying here at the grass roots level.
Rugby league, football, basketball are where young kids are choosing to go more and more.
Even combat sports such as jiu jitsu are rapidly gaining in popularity all the time.
Picking players from overseas will give us a sugar hit of success for a wee while…. But the crash
afterward could be Wales-like.
Go to commentsYou see BS when you white Saffers (and you're white drop your ruse) make xenophobic comments, they are just flagging themselves as the type of white South African who would have been a defender of your despicable State back in the day. You are just too stupid too see it. When you say these things in front of non whites from your own country they will think you're just the type of Kant who would have them in chains a few decades ago. And you are that Kant.
