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.

178 – GBS, had Force got all their kicks it would have been 22 to them by now. Stormers need to wake up. Need a try soon. Well hoping. Scrappy game so far.
181 @ Puma – Very scrappy.
182 – Gbs, Yip for sure. Thought it would have been a cracker from the Stormers. They a much better side than how they are playing today.
Tim Whitehead is totally missing today… but then so is Jaque Fourie and Habana and Knock-a-li-vuki!
Stormers 15 / 13
Vervelige getjommel.
185 – GBS, Now Stormers just need a try that will put the Force away.
Welsch & Guinazu on for Stormers
bdb – What does getjommel mean?
Pffffffffffrrrrr
Oi, oi, oi!
189@ Puma – “Getjommel” means scrappy with nothing happening
Hang on Stormers only 8 min left.
191 – gbs, Thanks had no idea. Learning a bit of afrikaans all the time..haha.
Nee jinne mense, hierdie is nie rugby nie….
Bekker hardloop soos ‘n senter … en pass soos ‘n stut.
Deon Fourie on for Tiaan Liebenberg… good move I think
3 minutes left…
O flok… penalty on halfway for the Force….
Miss…. yebo, yes!
less than a minute left
Stormers can be very lucky that the Force missed 3 penalties.
Now need to hang on Stormers only 2 min left.
Time officially up, but the Force has a scrum
Another penalty missed. Could have had 25 now the Force. Stormers giving away too many penalties they do that against the Blues and it will be good bye for that game.
Need to tighten the discipline for the Blues game.
Drop goal by David Hill….
They win by 16 / 15
Eina.
Can you believe it…. No 14 on the Log, beats No 2 on the Log
nou kan jy dit nou oorvertel
WTF????!!!!
& all i heard in the lovely Cape the last week was how poor the Bulls played last week and they are on a downward spiral….. and the Stormers are on the way to win the S14…..
WTF?????
205 – Drop by Hill and Force win 16/15 😯 😯 😯
Bulls got 3 tries agains this team last week and almost got the 4th!!!! Just shows how good the Bulls team is.
Well, there is now a new Wooden Spoon Team at No 14….. the Lions
