Stormers were the bettering team, but the bulls took their chances better

I disagree, the Bulls dominated the set-piece. They made the Stormers play catch-up rugby, besides we could hardly bag any kicks. Succumbed under pressure, that is by no means the bettering team on the day. It still stands that SA rugby is inconsistent.

Glad to see that the Super Sport panel is in agreement that the ref (and TMO) was a knob. Du Toit was never to be on the receiving end of the yellow. Not to mention that the Bulls also stepped, unintentionally, a Stormers player and got away with a deliberate high tackle. The game is over, best to move on and trust that the officiating will improve and be consistently applied to both teams.

Bulls only dominated the 1st half. Stormers controlled the scrums and had good balls from scrums and line outs, but decision making at 9 and 10 was the difference on the day. If the Stormers played a good tactical game and get the Bulls on the back foot, they could have dominated the game even further.

The same ref that missed the knock on for de Allende's try and missed PsDT knock on/played ball on the ground (any pick will do) for Kolisi's try? If it is the same ref I agree that he was shocking.

The officiating was poor overall and I already agreed that the Bulls was the better team of the day. In my books, the winner is the most deserving team of the day, win or lose, and the Bulls came out most deserving and won. No complaints, only of the poor officiating. My judgement is focused on the inconsistency of refereeing on which I also agree with your points.
