Stormers (9) 19 / Lions (8) 16 (Final Score)
The DHL Stormers hosted the MTN Lions at Newlands, Cape Town at 19:10 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Stormers escaped jail with a very late comeback to eventually win by 3 points and with a number of their old stalwarts not firing. Guys like Bryan Habana, Conrad Jantjes, Ricky Januarie and Andries Bekker seem to be playing on hype and reputation only.
The gutsy Lions tried till 4 minutes into injury time to slowly move upfield and score, which they nearly did, only to be denied by a desperate steal by the Stormers.

Kamana on for the Lions
Kickable penalty Stormers.

@ superBul:
Groot name van WP maar kuk….Habana, JFourie, Jean, LangBek…
Pietman ek sien daai ding is hulle dalk al moeg van al die voor wedstryde
Penalty Lions in their own half
I think the Lions have the measure of the Stormers.
Crowd is rather quiet
Penalty Stormers, deep in their half.

Jis die Stormers lyk stom, Habana lyk deurmekaar, maar ek dink die Stormers gaan die een steel
Daai Pieter Louw is n oulike ou, het daar op Franskraal gekuier oor Kerstyd, dikwels met hom gesels as hy soggens by my plek verbydraf met sy Jack Russeltjie….
Penalty Stormers…. 8m out, Kamana the culprit
Stormers go for touch
@ superBul:
Ja, nou of nooit vir die Stormers!
Try Stormers…. Pieter Louw
Game is 80 minute, jongspanne sal dit moet leer op die harde manier.
Genade – at last!
Pieter Louw van Saldanha!
Stormers 19 / 16

@ smallies72:

Scrum Lions, with seconds to go… they have to run the whole lenght of the field… won’t happen
