The DHL Stormers produced a scintillating second-half performance to overpower the Dragons 48-12 in their United Rugby Championship (URC) clash at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday. After a tightly contested first half, the hosts exploded with six tries in the final 40 minutes to secure a commanding bonus-point victory.
