DHL Stormers loosehead prop Steven Kitshoff collides with two Leinster players as he looks to take his team forward on attack in the United Rugby Championship (URC) match between the two sides at DHL Stadium in Greenpoint on Saturday (30 April). The Stormers captain, who is originally from Strand, led his side to a 20-13 victory in the top-of-the-table encounter, which saw the home side scoring three tries to one by the visitors from Ireland. Despite the defeat, Leinster retained their place at the top of the table leading into the play-off. Kitshoff and his troops, who now occupy fourth place on the URC log, have already booked their place in the quarter-finals, but their final log position will be determined next weekend, as the men from the Cape take on Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli, Wales on Saturday 21 May. After this weekend’s action, the Stormers are deadlocked on 56 log points with the Sharks and Munster, with the latter technically in second place as a result of a superior points difference. The Durban side is ahead of the Stormers on the log as they have dotted down more tries throughout the competition, scoring 57 tries to the 56 by the Stormers.
