Stormers continued their excellent 100 per cent start to the Super Rugby season as a 29-13 victory over Sharks saw them move top of the table.
Allister Coetzee's side outscored Sharks by two tries to one at the Newlands Stadium, while Demetri Catrakilis also added 14 points with the boot in Cape Town.
Stormers scored the first try of the game shortly before the 20-minute mark when winger Johnny Kotze sped away after collecting a kick forward out of defence for his first score for the club.
Sharks trailed by just three points at the break, though, as they were rewarded for relentless pressure when Pat Lambie - who accounted for all of his team's points - squeezed over on the right touchline.
The hosts pulled away in the second half as Catrakilis' trusty boot kept the scoreboard ticking over before a penalty try stretched the lead further.
Juan De Jongh thought he had added a third try in the closing stages, but it was chalked off for offside.
Bulls ended Cheetahs' unbeaten run as Handre Pollard pitched in with 29 points in a 39-20 success in Bloemfontein.
Defending champions Waratahs ran out 23-5 winners at Reds, although Michael Cheika's side were far from impressive as countless handling errors and knock-ons blighted their performance.
Bernard Foley and Peter Betham both touched down for the visitors at Suncorp Stadium, but winger Chris Kuridrani could find himself in hot water after being cited for a dangerous tackle in the 21st minute.
Rounding off the action, the winless Blues suffered more disappointed as Lions earned their first win of the campaign in a surprise 13-10 victory in Albany.
Blues enjoyed the majority of possession, but failed to turn that into points as a try from Ruan Combrinck and eight points from the boot of Elton Jantjies earned Lions the points.
