208 – Bluebeard, Congrats to your Bulls yesterday. Good to see them get the 5 points.
Stormers need to score first in the second half to shut the Blues out of the game..
206 – Sharky 😆
Then Ash can..hehehe. His team is playing awesome at the moment.
Great first 30 minutes by the Stormers, some of the best rugby this year. Go on boys get rid of the Blues.
Flok, netnou gaan ek crumpets en room en heuning eet…
Heeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaa
212 – Winston, agree they do that the confidence of the Blues will go out the window. The Blues score then they could come back. So Stormers should try to score first.
This advert they have with the drinking and driving is awful.. Geez. Suppose they get the point across with it.
Mooi Stormers, looi die Blues.
215 – gbs, STOP boeta, you making us hungry. I had healthy Jungle Oats… hehehehe
Pat Lamb would have been fired looooooooooooooooong ago if he was coaching a SA side.
218 – Hello Snoek, have not seen you here for awhile. How you doing buddy?

stoooooooooormers!!
A Stormers win would be very good, not only for the Stormers, but for the Bulls too…. might keep the Blues away from the semi’s!
I’m going to eat muesli,so trying to get more healthy these days :p
Aplon butchers a try after brilliant work by Habana.
Fark fark fark fark fark fark fark fark.. Aplon,that was the match winner there..

Noooooooooooooooooooooo Alpon drops it. Would have been away for a try there.
Penalty to the Stormers under the posts.
