# Rugby: On an emotionally charged day following the passing of their long-standing team manager Chippie Solomon, the Stormers squandered a 10-7 lead at half-time to go down 33 – 24 against Connacht in their United Rugby Championships match in Cape Town. Despite tries from Evan Roos, Ntuthuko Mchunu, and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, the hosts’ error-strewn performance allowed the Irish side to mount a late comeback. Five tries, including a late score by Sean Naughton, handed Connacht their first-ever win in Cape Town, denting the Stormers’ hopes of reaching the top of the URC table.
