The DHL Stormers Bolts scored three unanswered tries in the second half to claim a 28-17 win against Leopards U20 in Potchefstroom on Saturday.
They were forced to come from behind, with the home side holding a 17-7 advantage at half-time, but a clinical performance after the break made it a sizeable win in the end.
Fullback Meyer Prinsloo kicked all four conversions in blustery conditions and got over for one of the four tries as the visitors took a full five points for their efforts at Olen Park.
Prinsloo’s try was all they had at the break after a stop-start first half, which saw the home side take control.
But tries from loose forward Wihan Kotze and outside backs Pretorius Ekeji and Sanele Simelane saw the DHL Stormers Bolts end on top, having kept the hosts from scoring at all in the second half.
