Foxsports tells the tale of a reality check for our brave lads as their stunning run of away wins came to an inevitable conclusion in the small hours of our night in South Africa.
The points would have been nice but hopefully this will help with their development.
Jake White’s men were gunning for a record eight consecutive away victories and trying to match their previous best start to a season of five straight wins.
They got to within three points late in the match but an intercept try to Stormers reserve back Gerhard van den Heever in the 75th minute sealed their fate.
