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.

Ek weet nie hoekom ek so moerig is nie ek weet wat die plan van aksie is. Maar ek haat van verloor en regtig ons moes nie so baie veranderings gemaak het nie.
Difficult to tell
Knocked by Bulls is the call
91@ SuperBul – Relax tjomma
Sorry i will fight till the end there is no gifts in Rugby that dog wil bite us
No try..
GBS ek kan nie het niks om te drink 😆
Ons word geskroef boet
Bakkies het verdwyn
eish , dis kalfie moord 😆
die bulle sal weer volgende week speel
Adams is nie meer so goed nie, laas gedink hy is geroes
Bob seems to very pro Stormers with his commentary,I know who he was supporting last week when they got beaten 🙂
Die Stormers begin altyd ‘n game vinnig en bedaar dan later…
schalk speel n goeie game vandag
kuun speel nie te sleg nie
Bulle moes daardie drie gekry het om hul momentum te gee, maar nou gaan dit net moeiliker gaan.
lemoen tyd
guess it’ll be 28-3 to stormers half time
This is not an easy game… there’s going to be very tired bodies…
When a ref farks up a game like this i somehow lose all my manners so excuse me boys
Stormers 28 / 3
Lemoenetyd
Dink net daaraan, as die Bulle se A-span daar was, was die telling nou 28-3 vir die Bulle. 😉
bulls are not playing as a unit and thats totally because of the players thaat have been rested
oh dear oh dear oh dear GBS, they shouldnt have played the B team, this is going to cause a phsychological problem.
Bulls weak on defense on Habanas wing, time and again there is no one home.
The Bulls dicipline lets them down and one can see these players are’nt used to playing together.
The Stormers are playing well, make less mistakes and their defence is rock solid… one can see they’re a tried and trusted unit.
De Wet Barry actually fouled Peterson when he took him in the air to turn him….ref has let a couple go for the Stormers, forward passes and such, but they were hard to call.
112@ Sammajoor – Why a Psycological problem? It won’t be the same players taking the field next week..
Come on Stormpoppies, another 2 tries and you have 2nd postion clear and points diff over 200!!
Stormers just using their chances better… that comes with playing together…
i agree with gbs , its not the ref , but the players playing that are not used to playing together , you can see it in every move when the bulls attack
there has been a mistake or 2 both ways by the ref
next week this will not be the same bulls team
@112 This looks like it could be the final if the Crusaders dont get up when they come over, then Stormers have one over them. A few of the guys will play, I never believe a weaker team should be fielded, it generally leads to problems. JMPO
sammajoor sit op aandag ffs 😆
