28@ bdb:
Landers het die voorries om die Stormers te boelie.
Penalty UCT… easy with this wind
gbs @ 30
seker weer maties se eie ref wat blaas nê? 😀
Maties 10 / 6
Another penalty for UCT.. high tackle
Maties 10 / 9
31: Stormers se verdediging is huidiglik heelwat beter as die Bulle s’n, dink nie hulle sal in dieselfde slaggat trap as die Bulle met doellose skoppe en swak verdediging nie.
Die Landers se spel laat my dink aan die Reds verlede jaar, die vraag is net of hul daardie hoë standaard sal kan volhou tot die einde toe.
Penalty Maties… but too far out.
UCT backline running well
Maties hooker is busy… Kallie Visagie
Try No 2 for Tythan Adams
Maties 17 / 9
Donald Stevens, the Maties Scrummie is off for blood… a big gash on his head somewhere
Maties running riot now…
UCT scrum under immense pressure
This game has better handling than the Bulls and the Stormers / Cheetahs game
Maties properly bullying UCT now… close to the UCT line… penalty Maties
45@ grootblousmile:
That’s not hard!
Was watching some U9’s train this afternoon and their handling was better that the stormers/cheetahs, and they scored tries as well!
Maul over try by Maties
Maties 24 / 9
Can anyone enlighten ma as to why Supersport refer to the Lions only as the Lions, but every other team with their sponsor included?
EG Vodacom Bulls, DHL Stormers, Toyota Cheetahs, but never MTN Lions.
Has the SA sponsor of Super Rugby (Voda-our reception is kak and we drop all your important call-com) thrown their toys out of the pram perhaps?
Catrakilis misses a penalty to the left
@ Scrumdown:
Or maybe just enlighten ME.
UCT will be without lock Don Armand and inside centre Adrian Kritzinger.
Armand failed a late fitness test and will be replaced by Eben Etzebeth who is, in fact, fit to face the Maties. Etzebeth will partner Brad Bosman in the second row.
In another change to the Ikeys’ line-up, star inside centre Adrian Kritzinger has dropped out with an injury and has been replaced by Nick Holton in the No.12 shirt.
@ superBul:
Is this why they play so bad today?
49@ Scrumdown:
Interesting question… I just do not know
Lemoenetyd
2nd Half on!
Kenya 198 (50 ov)
