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.

Mmmmmm, Dickenson is such a pons!
You must applaud Aplon for his bravery. He is tiny but has a huge heart.
Gio GifAplontjie off for blood above the eye… will need stitches.
O’Connor misses a penalty.
92: jammer hy is so klein, dalk moet hy gaan skrummie speel.
Jinne, check hoe ongelyk is daai veld, daar’s duidelike opdraendes en afdraendes!
92 – Loosehead, For sure. Tiny but a great player.
Francois Louw is having a super game so far.
Pity Burger knocks on there.
Penalty in front of posts for Stormers…. just slot it over!
Stormers sal hul vat die 2de helfte, soos die Bulle gedoen het. Eerste helfte is jou een voet nog op die vliegtuig, tweede helfte is altwee voete op die veld.
7-6
Force 7 / 6
David Hill is well and solid over the Hill…. kak flyhalf!
The difference between the 2 teams is that the Force is keeping the ball in hand while the Stormers just kick the ball away.
Fark, the defensive gates NEARRRRRLY opened for the Force…
Grant still cannot kick far for touch.
What has happened to the famed Stormers defence?
Grant slips a tackle…
Stormers get away with murder, early tackles, driving over the ruck does not look right for me. But then why dont we do it too.
Wonner waars die WP manne vandag, julle beter kom support , daar gebeur nie veel nie.
Stormers het skakelpaar probleme.
This game puts the Bulls / Force game in perspective.
Look like it is not so easy on the travel….
111 @ BiDiBiDi – Dewaldt Duvenage moet opkom…. kannie verstaan hoekom Ricky verkies word nie!
Moet se die manne lyk te sreriel in die wit of is dit impotent?
Hierdie twee spanne kompeteer nou om te sien wie kan die meeste foute maak.
Hierdie halfte was net ‘n getjommel….
Tempers starting to flare up.
Force 7 / 6

Misses the penalty. That will cost them or any team for that matter. Need to get the kicks over.
Stormers should pull away in the 2nd half.
So far a scrappy game.
Lyk nie soos bonuspunt wedstryd nie, behalwe as dit oop gaan die 2de helfte.
