The Stormers took on the Sharks tonight in Cape Town in a warm-up game in preparation for the Super 14, which starts in 2 short weeks. This is the match thread for discussion of the game.
[cincopa 10547830]
The Stormers continued to impress, as they did in the match against the Western Force last Saturday and won handsomely, 29 / 14.
On the other hand, the Sharks once again looked a shadow of the Team we know they can be, with the backline in particular stuttering badly.
The game was marred by a high penalty count and no less than 3 Yellow Cards were issued. It seems that this year the breakdown point is going to be a real source of concern, so too the scrums which had to be reset time and again. Quite a number of penalties were also issued for high or dangerous tackles… for that, the players can only blame themselves, not the rules or the referee.
