The Stormers' 44-21 win was built almost entirely on set-piece dominance — Mchunu's scrummaging was relentless, forcing two yellow cards and a stream of penalties that kept Cardiff pinned in their own half for long stretches. The lineout was equally potent, directly producing three tries. The concern is that once inside Cardiff's 22, the Stormers were wasteful — two held-up tries, poor passing decisions, and a conversion rate of just 2.58 points per 22 entry meant a contest that should have been a blowout stayed competitive longer than it should have. That finishing profligacy is a persistent pattern Dobson has flagged all season and remains unresolved heading into the semis. The bigger worry may be Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who scored a well-taken try midway through the second half but hobbled off immediately after with what looked like an ankle issue. The piece leans toward it being precautionary, but given SFM's quality when firing, his availability for the semi-final is now a live question. The Stormers await the Lions-Leinster winner — and Cape Town is very clearly hoping van Rooyen's side pull off the upset in Dublin.
