Stormers (12) 18 / Highlanders (6) 6 (Final Score)
The Stormers hosted the Highlanders 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 and M-Net on TV in SA.
In a very hard battle where the Stormers had to make more than double the tackles compared to the Highlanders, the Stormers toughed out an ugly win.
Rather an ugly win though than a spectacular loss!

3@ Pietman:
Mooi man, ek het nou goeie geselskap.
Damn, I cut my times very fine today… left for Midrand at 15:04… managed to get to the last of 4 Suppliers at 16:57 (3 minutes before closing time), then all the way back here through rush-hour traffic in time for this game with about 20 minutes to spare.
I must stop working so hard…. hehehe
Teams on the field, about to kick 0ff.
Game On!
Jamie het weggekom met sy handjie laasweek, nie hierdie keer nie.
Stormers 3 / 0
So far the Stormers are more aggressive in their tackling on the Landers than the Bulls were last week
How did you guys pick for this one on Bru… I picked Landers by 5.
Stormers se verdediging goed, dit frusteer die Landers.
Jaimie Mackintosh hand on the ground again at the scrum, penalty Stormers… too far to go for posts
Penalty Stormers again, Landers offside… this one is kickable
Stormers 6 / 0
Stormers now 5m out and gets a penalty…. they go for posts
Honeymoon verby vir Landers. Bulle het hul laat goed lyk laasweek met hul patetiese verdediging.
Stormers 9 / 0
17@ bdb:
Stormers doen nou die regte ding om al hulle penalties te vat pale toe… bou eers die innings, dan slaat jy verder.
Robbie Robinson lands a penalty
Stormers 9 / 3
Try Routledge??
TMO
Unsighted??
Call should be scrum 5…. and is.. inconclusive
All a result of a massive mistake by Habana
Penalty Landers from the scrum… they go for posts
Robinson hits the upright and it bounces away…Stormers escape
Stormers work at the breakdowns is very good
Habana is such a spent force… here he gives a penalty away again, within kickable distance
Stormers 9 / 6
Habana, eish man, wil net nie regkom nie.
