# Rugby: The Stormers have opened their Champions Cup campaign with a convincing 49-12 victory over Bristol Bears in Cape Town. The hosts scored seven tries, with Leolin Zas and centre Jonny Roche each crossing twice. Seabelo Senatla, Warrick Gelant and André-Hugo Venter also scored, while fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu converted all seven tries. The Stormers had to cope with a 20-minute red card for hooker JJ Kotze and a yellow card for Zas, leaving them temporarily down to 13 players. Despite this they still finished strongly to secure a try-scoring bonus point.
