The stakes were high for the Stormers in a must-win match against the Sharks at Newlands on Saturday, the winner booking a quarterfinal spot in this year’s Super Rugby competition.
And fans could not have asked for better weather - a bright, warm winter’s day.
Before kick-off, kids and parents got in the mood for the big game with matches played at the nearby Groote Schuur High School.
It was the perfect day for rugby fans, down to the last minute when the Sharks scored a try to win 12-9 and break the Newlands faithful’s hearts.
