Bulls (10) 13 / Stormers (12) 23 (Final Score)
The Bulls hosted the DHL Stormers at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria at 19:10 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD and M-Net on TV in SA.
The Stormers were deserved winners, not so much for their attack but for keeping better dicipline and dogged defence.

Arghhhh, easy penalty for the Stormers
Ag no doesn’t look like its going well at Loftus 🙁 England lost today but probably still will win the 6 nations… unless Wales beat France by 27 in Paris tonight. Good night all, hope Bulls can make some sort of comeback.
Derick kunn is n skande vir die blou trui.
Grant misses this sitter
nee kyk, stormers se game, maar soos ou bob self seg, ref nie te lief vir bulle nie.
Wot a miss by Grant!
Too little time left for the Bulls to come back from 10 points down…..
3 min left
Penalty Bulls… Morne kicks it out but the time is ticking
Stormers relieving penalty…. seconds left
Sorrie Flip…
Skew throw… Bulls scrum
Stormers win by 10
Memorable match for the Stormers…. too many errors from the Bulls.. and a lack of dicipline
geluk stormers, beste span het gewen. Telling vlei die Bulle.
I should be happy but instead I’m very worrried about RWC now….
nou waar is al die manne wat die stormers as useless gebrandmerk het?
Final Score: Stormers 23 / 13 Bulls
Janee, geen twyfel, Stormers by verre die beste span….Geluk julle WP-manne!!!!!!
Die bulls se afrigter moet regtig dinge uitsort voor hulle op toer gaan.te veel foute en te veel egos.
OK folks, I have to vamoose to a Music concert in Boksburg, not going to the after match pressers….
Congrats Stormers.
Bulle, kry julle gatte in rat!
