CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Stormers centre EW Viljoen scored two tries as they recorded a 37-20 Super Rugby victory over the Blues at Newlands on Saturday after overcoming the rigours of long-haul travel and a flu bug that left players and management bed-ridden this week.

The Stormers were back home after three defeats on their tour of Australasia and, despite having limited training opportunities in the week because of the illness gripping the team, they had too much power for the Blues.
