Stormers coach John Dobson and skipper Steven Kitshoff were left devastated following their side's 19-14 loss to Munster in Saturday's United Rugby Championship final at a packed Cape Town Stadium. | Sport24news

The Stormers delivered their worst performance of the knockout stages this season and were punished, missing out on an opportunity to win back-to-back URC titles after their famous victory over the Bulls at the same venue in 2022.

Dobson said that while the Stormers had lost their URC title, they had still achieved their goals for 2022/23, which left a bittersweet feeling. "I felt that we were totally in control of the second half and that we were on top of Munster and that they were scrambling trying to keep us out."I'm extremely proud of what the guys have achieved during the season. The result tonight is very disappointing, but the guys can hold their heads up high and enjoy each other's company.
