    @ sharky_forever:25 – WELL that is unbelievable. So even in their papers they were supporting the Saders to beat the Bulls? Crikey not nice that man.

    Anyhow that in their papers it very disappointing to hear, will start me turning my support away from them too. Jeez, not nice to hear that bro. For now I still support the SA sides against the overseas teams. But this format by next year will change us all. Not just here in SA but Oz and Kiwiland. We all gonna be supporting the overseas teams against our own. Sad actually, but that will happen and it is a huge pity. This format should be changed back to how it was. It worked and worked well.

    Also see some Capetonians supporting the Reds. Jeepers they even support the Aussies. Thought it was only the kiwi sides they supported. So it means any team from overseas they support against their own???????????????? Very disappointing that.

    Now having to listen to Skinstadt. Jeepers he is painful to listen to as a commentator…lol.

    Wie is die meeste af van vorm, Habana of die Bulle ?

  • 65

    What would you guys say, a bit of a clear advantage to the Reds in most facets of play?

  • 66

    Ja habana maak drook maar skinstad is n useless fool!

  • 67

    @ sharky_forever:58 – Very true that.

  • 69

    @ Piet visagie:55 – Skinstadt, DON’T support the Sharks AT ALL. Only the Stormers and overseas teams. That is it and he is a useless commentator.

    they hate anything thats not from WP and are always the first to bring in race issues om blogs

  • 71

    Let’s hope the Stormers pull things around in the 2nd half.

    One try and they could be in front….

  • 72

    Puma,luister jy na die clown se kometaar?as ek nog eenkeer hoor hoe great cooper is gaan ek my ek dit verloor.f terug uk toe skinstad..

  • 73

    Stormers se hele gameplan gaan oor verdediging en hoop die span teen wie hul speel maak foute.

    Maar wat gemaak as hul teen ‘n span gaan speel wat min foute maak, balbesit hou en goeie hardlopers het ?

    Hulle sal moet pasop dat hul nie ook soos die Bulle net ‘een gameplan’ het nie.

    @ sharky_forever:70 – Well I can tell you we not like that here in KZA. Disappointing to hear that was written in their papers. I agree the race thing seems to come mostly from some of the bloggers from the Cape. Don’t like to say it but it really is honest. ONLY a few though.

    Told you my daughter is moving there next month. But she told me she will always support the Sharks.

    @ Puma:
    Puma, you do realise that you daughter would not DARE to admit she no longer supported the Sharks!!

    Folks, Stormers look a bit as if they do not have answers for what the Reds are throwing at them…
