The Stormers top the log by virtue of their vastly superior points difference after they completed perhaps their best-ever overseas tour by winning their clutch game against Benetton.

URC: Stormers top of log! 'There's something about this group' - Dobson

With five games completed, the international break comes almost a third of the way through the Vodacom United Rugby Championship (URC) season, and it is the DHL Stormers who are in a league of their own when it comes to the South African teams.

Most rugby critics agree that the Stormers are the best team in the country, so far.

"This result is really pleasing for us," said head coach John Dobson.

"There's something about this group. I've never seen this sort of confidence and intensity, and then backed up by what they do on the field."

However, the winning streak could shift as players are moved and shared between the Springboks’ concurrent season.

The next Stormers URC match against Munster (the only other unbeaten team) takes place on 29 November at 7:30 pm at Thomond Park, Ireland.
