The Stormers had to scramble to maintain their unbeaten start to Super Rugby against the struggling Sunwolves on Saturday
The South African outfit trailed 24-10 in Singapore - where they only drew last season - before taking control through their superior forward pack to grind out a 44-31 win.
The Stormers, with a 4-0 record, are one of three teams still unbeaten.
The Sunwolves came racing out of the blocks in the first half and were soon 14 points ahead through tries from Derek Carpenter, Shota Emi, and Liaki Moli.
But the Stormers fought back to run in six tries after going back to basics as their pack and halfbacks wrenched control of the game in the second half.
"We had to fight for it," Stormers captain Siya Kolisi said. "We really respect these guys. They're getting better and better."
