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!

shjoe habanna is die highlander se beste speler hy is swak
Louw is goed by die afbreekpunte, Landers is besig om terug te kom.
These Landers are good…. very hard and abrasive
What impresses me about the Landers is that almost every player gets over the advantage line
Handbags… and lots of it!
daai binne senter van die highlanders is blerrie besig
Looks like 2 Cards, one each.
Bekker and Hoeata…. and there will be citings
Penalty Stormers

39@ bdb:

… and almost handbags again

Lemoenetyd
Wat drink ons?
… terwyl ek Tjoppies eet en groot aartappel met lekker baie suurroom… en slaai.
Drie dinge wat anders is as die Bulle vs Landers wedstryd:
1. Stormers se verdediging beter, en hul gaan haal die manne, wag nie vir hulle nie.
2. Stormers se loosies beter by afbreekpunte
3. Balle word nie doelloos vir Landers geskop nie.
En dit alles frustreer die Landers, en daarom neem hul nou die reg in eie hande.
Wel teminste probeer die stormers terug fight,gooi hulle arms in die lig en huil by die ref nie soos n sekere span nie.habana of poolman moet af,stormers sukkel met daardie twee.tot j fourie sal beter vaar.
47@ bdb:
100%, ek stem saam
48@ Piet visagie:
Poolman try hard
2Nd Half on!
Penalty Landers, kickable…
Robinson misses
Jaque Fourie on as a sub and so too Tony Brown on the Landers side
Very interesting battle this
Allister spot on during the halftime interview. It’s all about the breakdowns and ttormers strated to lose structure at the tackle area as the half progressed. Is looking better at this stage in the 2nd half. Stormers so far able to tidy up their precision at the breakdown.
Brown on now. He’ll make difference. He play’s more direct.
The “Toy Story Hero” (Blaauw) on for CJ
Penalty Stormers, very easy one to slot
Verdediging hou Stormers voor, Landers kan nie oor die voordeel lyn kom nie.
Stormers 15 / 6
