The DHL Stormers had their first home defeat on the weekend when they lost 15-9 to the Chiefs. Questions have been raised around the game with regards to Sanzaar’s decision to assign a Kiwi ref to a game with a New Zealand team. The game was not totally biased but some dubious calls were made with regards to the scrums that involved Steven Kitshoff. The director of Stormers Gert Smal Rugby will be laying a complaint:

‘I’m not happy with the referee’s performance, it wasn’t good enough,’
