Penalty Tahs
Tahs take a quick penalty 5m out… they want tries
They squander their chance
Puma 85 – yet nobody moans that Lions played a B-team the whole year…hahahahaha
Seriously though I would have been pissed if I had paid for a trip to Newlands and then have watch a non-contest.
@ 86 😉
Pink fluffy slippers …he he he
I have never known the Bulls to do the Stormers even ONE favour…Fourie du Preez earlier this year on Re-Union said publicly he hoped that the Stormers lose against the Force, which happened, but not before the Bulls got their assess handed to them by the Blues. 😉
93@ Pam – Who says it’s a non-contest??
TAhs clearly going for the tries…
Injuries starting !!!
87 – I beg your pardon?
Good defence by Canes, but how long can it last
Another penalty to Tahs, right in front
Another penalty Tahs
This time will kick it
Tahs 13 / 6
13 – 6 Tahs
I beg your pardon, I’ve never promised you a rose garden..
93: Stormers besef dit is ‘n hopelose situasie teen die Bakkies bende, maar hul het belowe om te probeer tot die einde toe.
Blouste
Come on … you are like a date that does not put out ! 😉
Lets say the Tahs lose but get the 2 bonus points.
Bulls pitch up at Newlands with their full strength team..
Stormers supporters faces…PRICELESS !!!
try Tahs
Try Mitchell for Tahs
RP 😆
Try Tahs. Old G. Think your team are coming to SA next week.
3 tries Tahs…
Canes is soos die Cheetahs, op en af, die een week heros die volgende week zeros.
Missed the kick
18 – 6 Tahs
Tahs 18 / 6
Tahs still need 2 tries for their bonus point
106 – Blouste, Wish we were going to see a full strength Bulls side tomorrow. Really do. Would have been awesome. Stormers will get into the semi as a gift from the Bulls 😯
#116 Amen Puma!
GBS@96
Anything but a non-contest, it is going to be a low scoring game in the Cape of Storms if this weather persists, Bull might just pull it off against all odds…
116 – Actually Stormers are on 39 points and if the Canes don’t get a bonus point and lose. Then even if Bulls went with their full strength side. Stormers would still make a semi. So correction there. Only they get a gift from Bulls to hold the semi 😳
So Tahs have 2 tries….
Another 2 short !!!
