Stormers (3) 17 / Sharks (10) 16 (Final Score)
The Stormers hosted the Sharks in the last of the Tri-Series warm-up games in preparation for the Super Rugby Tournament at 17:00 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 2 & M-Net on TV in SA.
In an error-ridden game the Sharks took the iniative and controlled most of the game till too many substitutions, to key players, derailed their game and allowed the Stormers to fight back and steal a win near the end.
I would not read too much into this game or the result, except maybe that Patrick Lambie’s goal kicking is still shoddy, that Meyer Bosman and Stefan Terblanche make a fine center combination and that the Stormers do not lie down to be defeated….

JLP gaan nog meer op die bank sit by die Sharks as die Bulle. Hy het ‘n dom besluit geneem.
Sharks have virtually ALL the ball
Penalty Stormers… Alberts offside
Stormers now awake…. and they get close but concede a penalty
Manne wil boks.

Interessante lemmetjie groen pakkies wat die StormPoppies (cheerleaders) aan het…. lyk omtrent of hulle aan geverf is…. mens kan omtrent ‘n koek-en-tee party hou.
Penalty against Beast at scrumtime.. Verbrokkel gets his own back
Lineouts not going well for the Sharks….
Oddone hit late by Paul Bosch… he gets a yellow.
Met daardie geel streep op Stormers se trui, gaan hul sommer baie geelkaarte kry.
