Stormers winger Cheslin Kolbe has scored his second hat-trick of tries in as many weeks in a 52-15 victory over Sunwolves of Japan at Newlands on Saturday.

The home team's other tries came from excellent teenage five-eighth Damian Willemse, winger Seabelo Senatla, centre EW Viljoen and fullback Dillyn Leyds, who scored a brace.

The Sunwolves were much-improved from their 94-7 drubbing at the hands of the Lions last weekend, but could not cope with the speed and quick hands of the hosts.

They managed tries through wing Teruya Goto and hooker Takeshi Hino.

The win ensures the Stormers will be seeded third in the finals after moving to 39 points from 14 matches, leaving the Brumbies from Australia as fourth seeds.
