The Stormers came through their first preseason match without any injuries and on the right side of the scoreboard with a 43-7 win over the Cheetahs in Harare, Zimbabwe, on Saturday. Stormers attack and skills coach Paul Feeney had stressed on the eve of a warm-up match that saw up to 10 replacements being used, that the score was irrelevant. It was simply about implementing aspects of the game they have spent the past two months working on. From that perspective, coach Robbie Fleck saw the outing positively as the Stormers scored seven tries. "It is a good start for us‚ all the goals we set ourselves for this weekend were achieved‚" Fleck said.
