It was a fairy tale victory for Cape Town as the DHL Stormers beat the Bulls 18-13 to lift trophy and become the inaugural URC champions. The celebrations continued throughout the weekend and Smile Breakfast caught up with head coach John Dobson to talk about the win. John said that while it was about the team, it did feel good to get a win over Bull’s coach Jake White:
