Summary The Stormers won the fiercely contested game 18-16 for their first away win of the season.
WELLINGTON (AFP) - A complaint of "match day misconduct" against the Western Stormers was under investigation following the South African Super 15 team's win over the Wellington Hurricanes, SANZAR said Wednesday.
The southern-hemisphere rugby body did not specify the nature of the alleged misconduct in a brief statement but New Zealand media reported it related to verbal abuse of officials during the match in Palmerston North.
"As this matter is before a SANZAR judicial officer, no further comment will be made at this time," it said.
The Stormers won the fiercely contested game 18-16 for their first away win of the season.
Fairfax Media reported that Stormers management were unhappy with some of the refereeing decisions and made their feelings known to officials.
The Stormers are in 10th place on the Super 15 ladder and play the NSW Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday.
