199 – 4man, Agree 100%. Burger is one magnificent player.
great kick grant
Very good kick Grant just when I wanted to say he had a quiet game. Would still like to see Cronje play the last 10 minutes
Schalk was massive.
Wie het Grant geleer om so ver te skop, het julle al opgemerk sy kantlyn skoppe is deesdae baie langer
Puma i agree, thing i am allways wanting to learn more about rugby and there are certain peoples opinions i really value and then you get those that say ridiculous things about him being useless and hasnt done anything in 3 years and then i know not to pay much attention to what they say bout rugby.
Deon Fourie has been my Man of the Match…. a lot of hard work put in by him and Schalla
Grant would be the perfect 10 for the Sharks.
Stormers must go for another try.
Try Duane Vermeulen??
No, they’re going back for a penalty, so he must have been held up
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Tryyyyyyyyyy Pieter Louw
Puma@211
Yes,Schalk is world class….though I suspect that there are stil 3 or 4 people down in Cape Town who would prefer Luke instead….and as Springbok captain nogal!
How faktup is that bru?
Highlanders are totally outclassed here.
Stormers playing like a band of brothers this year the team spirit this year looks really good. Very good to see that.
Whitewash coming up???
WOW they just cruiseing now. This team could go far for the next couple of years.
Stormers 26 / ZIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Matthew Proudfoot palyed for Scotland, am I right?
223
Ja Pietman hulle sien nie die lig nie
10 minutes left to score 1 more try…..
223 – Piet, If they not happy with a world class player like Schalk, we at the Sharks will take him with open arms.
He is one heck of a brilliant player.
If I ever got tackled by him probably would be in hospital……hahahahaha. He is superb.
Fight going on off camera.
Pietman – dont think he could ever play for the boks again even if he were fantastic, not after the bok jersey wanting to make him puke.
greased lightning Aplon, pity he is so light.
Come Stormers one more try. GET THAT BONUS, Jeepers they deserve it. Stormers have totally outclassed this Highlanders team.
Go Stormers.
@228 yes, he was a flanker
Will the crap Highlanders lineout actually get the ball
236@ 4man – He was a PROP!
