The Lions hosted the Stormers at the “Coke-Tin” late this afternoon. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game was broadcast on SuperSport 1 in SA on TV.
The Stormers had a good First half, scoring all their points and clearly overshaddowed the Lions in the Fist Half. The Second Half was different, only 7 points coming in the whole half, the Lions always playing catch-up. In the end the Stormers won comfortably, 26 / 13. No bonus points was earned for tries.
All in all, the game was a dour affair.

Andy Nicol on the BBC saying that the Scots must not try and just defend if they are to win the match – they must attack.

Scrum.com’s Huw Baines from the stadium: “Gethin Jenkins limping off – calf again possibly.” Shame for the lad because he is a terrific player.
110 – Super do you know the score at the moment with Wales and Scotland? Last I heard it was 16/9 to Scotland at halftime.
