Stormers (28) 38 / Bulls (3) 10 (Final Score)
The Stormers hosted the Bulls at Newlands, Cape Town at 17:05 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The Stormers won the encounter by 38 / 10 and earned a bonus point in the process, elevating them to No 2 on the Log and also earning them a Home semi-final.
It was clear that the many changes the Bulls made, fielding a B-side made their cohesion less whereas the Stormers appeared to be a well oiled machine.
The Bulls B-side was not disgraced though and showed better form than at least 2 or 3 of the Super 14 teams who occupy the 12th, 13th and 14th spots on the Log.

Hello everyone. DAMN our whole area without power since after the Reds game. Only this min came back on. Damn makes me angry. Just pleased it is on for this game.
Good luck to both teams.

Free Kick Stormers
Heini se hare is n groot probleem, hy kan nie twee goed gelyk doen nie, sy hare reghou en die bal optel nie…
Penaltyyyyyyyy Bulls, hand in by Brock!
Kickable!
Stormers 7 / 3
Pottie !
Maku….. no man, Kuun, no man!
Dicipline!
Bulle moet uitskop, sit hulself onder groot druk met teen aanvalle van balle wat nie uitgeskop word nie.
Stormers 10 / 3
Well said Wynie 😆
Maybe we will see the biggest score against the Bulls ever from WP/Stormers? My neighbour saying at least this is a brilliant warm up game for Bakkies……hehehehehe.
Good afternoon all. Good to see the States won.:) Stormers must win so they can get more revenue but I’ll be a Bull come semi final time 🙂
Another kickable penalty to the Stormers….
Bulls giving far too many penalties away.
kaplan, stormers is goed genoeg om te wen, jy hoef hul nie so te help nie, hoor.
Bulls being blown out of the game. DISCIPLINE!
Stormers 13 / 3
52 – Howzit Winston, I mised the game against Cheetahs and Lions. Power in our whole area was out from after the Reds game until this game started. Looks like Cheetahs really climbed in there.
This looks so far too easy for Stormers.
It was a shocker Puma,Lions were awful.. Feel sorry for their supporters.. But at least the Cheaters ended their season well.
Stormers defence is too good… another penalty against the Bulls…
kaplan, wat van die tackler moet die speler los … maar nou jou, wat maak dit saak …
