An extended DHL Stormers squad ran in seven tries in their training match against the Airlink Pumas at Nelspruit Rugby Club on Wednesday afternoon.
The training match marks the end of the pre-season, with the DHL Stormers set to start their Vodacom United Rugby Championship campaign with a three-week European tour from next week.
The DHL Stormers squad made a strong start, with fit-again outside centre Ruhan Nel scoring twice in the first 15 minutes of play.
His midfield partner Dan du Plessis added another try, which saw the visitors go into the first water break on the 20-minute mark 19-0 up.
Wing Leolin Zas was next on the scoreboard before the hosts scored a try of their own, but Zas made it a double after that to send his team into the half-time break with a 33-7 advantage.
There were tries in the second half from outside backs Sako Makata and Luke Burger, while the home side scored another three tries of their own in an entertaining pre-season outing.
