The stormers played better that the scoreline suggest imo. 2 certain tries missed! If the ball jumps into the right areas, well, could be a big score.
Highlanders looks not focussed. Maybe a big second half? lets see.
Okay missed almost the WHOLE FIRST half. Last the signal. Eskom what are you doing??????????????????? Hope it it stays on now.
116@ Boomninny – “Playing off the 9 and 10” means creating play from the No 9 and No 10 positions, in other words using those 2 positions to craft or create your attacking platforms from…
GBS Thankyou
Keep it up Stormers, klap the rubbish!
Valke 13 – 34 Golden Lions
Stormers now come out and klap these guys good.
Second half on
Brok Harris in a bit of pain.
Jip, Stormers must now step up a gear, still 3 tries needed for bonus point.
They’re playing well, just not scoring the tries man
Kom nou Stormers, goeie verdediging verdien nie bonuspunte nie. Druk nou drieë, die Landers is reg om gepluk te word.
Looking at the replays of the Landers Lineouts they are really, really terrible there.
Penalty against Blaauw.
Highlanders looking half asleep. From where I’m sitting theres no intensity in the game.
Brilliant tackle by Petersen, but he has stayed down.
Grant hasnt lived up to his potential sad to say.
164 – Isi, Landers looking like they hit the night clubs of Cape Town this last week 😉 They look awful.
Stormere must get the 5 pointer from them.
36527 attendance today at Newlands

ooooooooooooooooooooooh that poor guys hand, looks like it has been stung by a whole lot of wasps
Lost forward could see that by a mile.
Fark look at his hand………………ouch!
168 – Isi, Not bad how much does Newlands hold full house?
That finger is more skeef than most of the “men” who visit The Bronx.
