Force (7) 16 / Stormers (6) 15 (Final Score)

The Western Force hosted the Stormers in Perth at 12:05 SA Time. This is the match Thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. The Force won the match 16 / 15 with a drop goal from David Hill well after the hooter had gone. This was a scrappy and dour game of rugby to suffer through.

    Sharkey

    Very good. The Force pulled this win from where the sun dont shine.

    This is a good result for aussie rugby.

    I expect your boys to win this weekend but the Reds are still underrated especially in the forwards.

  • 290

    Puma 249,

    The Streamers only flew on Monday, that combined with a week off and you’re sitting with a team that only exercised 3 – 4 days in two weeks…they were bound to be rusty and it was evident in their game, no finishing skills at all.

    They probably also thought they’d rock up and collect a win, no matter whom you’re playing, you have to bring your A-game every time.

  • 291

    Hallo daar! Gou kom inloer. Eers gou vir Skoppie vertel wie hy is. How are you guys? Pity Stormers lost. Surprised Saders drew their game against Canes!

  • 292

  • 293

    hope they show a replay of the bulls game a little later then it is being played

    i sure as hell aint getting up that early

  • 294

    damn the rooms officially dead

  • 295

    290 – Fires, When they said they went late I thought like Wednesday. Monday not that late to travel to Perth. Perth only a 8 and a half hour flight from Joburg. Add 2 hours from Cape Town. Perth only 6 hours ahead of us. I never ever feel jet lagged flying to Perth.

    Maybe after a bye teams come back rusty who knows. This was the team they had to beat, going to be tough against the Blues/Chiefs and Reds. Have to see how Blues play against the Bulls tomorrow to tell really. Bulls should win tomorrow. Hoping then even if they don’t no train smash they stay top of the log. Bulls are sitting well on the top there.

  • 296

    293 – Sharky, Get your butt up for the Bulls game……hahaha. Damn 6.30am is early even for me. I will be up though wont miss it.

  • 297

    :sleep:

    291 – Hello Johan, I knew the Saders and Canes were going to be a close game, was going with a Canes win first then changed it to Saders by 4.

    Stormers are still sitting nice on the log with Saders drawing their game today, not a big loss for Stormers they only one point behind Saders. Also Saders have to travel to SA still. Though Blues/Chiefs and Reds going to be tough games. Will know more about it by tomorrow after Bulls and Sharks have played two of those teams. Think Bulls should win but it will be a tough game. Matfield must take all points on offer tomorrow.

  • 299
