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.

Joubert is giving petty penalties. Becoming a ref show imo.
Joubert is being rediculous. Yellow card?
30: watter rugby ? 😉
After 4 ruck penalties WP get a yellow. Sharks have 3. Next should be a yellow card.

Tickets vir Dolphins.
Titans moes daar gewees het, maar toe gaan staan en ‘sharks’ hulle teen die Dophins.
Sien die Blues het die Chiefs gewen, en die Canes vir Brumbies.
Dink die S14 gaan baie gelyk wees hierdie jaar.
Chiefs ly nog na daai pak in die eindstryd
38: ja, hulle klokke lui nou nog.
What is the score someone quick? Have visitors over (plenty of them) so sneaked here quick. NO signal on the tv either. Must because of the plenty rain at the moment.
Give score update please.
Mossies 14 Vissies 14
Joubert is our worst ref. Don’t surprise me he is giving so many penalties there. Why though what is going on? Have not seen even one minute of this game.
41 – RubendieBul, Thanks boet. So it is close at the moment.
Damn missing this game, not only have visitors over but NO signal for this game. So can not even go have a quick look.
Catch up a bit later here for the score.
42: die nuwe reëls, altwee spanne sukkel daarmee. Joubert is nie ‘n slegte ref nie.
43: kyk hier: http://primus420sports.blogspot.com/
44 – RbB, No boet he is our worst ref. Just ask anyone here or the kiwis they will tell you the honest truth. He is not good.
Keep me up dated please, Not following this game at all. No signal and cant blog with all these visitors.
Back in about 15min.
Thanks.
Mannie wil nou begin bolle rol.

Laat ek ou Isi se werk vir hom doen:
24-14 vir Mossies.
Kan jy nie bo lees nie???
Visse sit ‘n paar hoogvatte in. Deysel af met geelkaart. Visse speel nou met 13 man.
Jannie terug op veld, 14 visse teen 15 mossies (moet sê as Joubert lyk ook soos ‘n mossie vanaand?)
Klomp reserwe sardientjies kom nou op vir ‘n paar visse.
Dieselfde met mossies, ‘n paar kwartels is nou op.
Baie snaakse ding het nou net op die veld gebeur, hehe !
Sharks i think has conceded the game.
26 penalties in game.
16 for Stormers and 10 for Sharks. Rediculous!!!!
Sal graag wil weet wat die strafskop telling is.
56: dankie !
Reading your mind……
The try of the season almost scored before the season started by Peterson!!!!!!
