89: Oeps, hulle kan.
8 points difference, 10 min left
Duvenage slots a penalty
Blues 26 / 21
This one is going to the wire, it seems
10 minute riller wat volg.
Penalty Blues…. kickable
Stanley replaces Brett
This is going down to the wire. A completely topsy turvy match! Stormers have no flyhalf and no kicker which is costing them.
McAlister misses…. as he slips
Dit is daardie 7 hamburgers wat Januarie geeet het halftyd, wat sy pens oor die onkantlyn gestoot het. Een hamburger minder, dan was hy nie onkant nie.
That was an important miss by the blues which means it’s still 5 points in it. Come on Stormpoppies!!!!!!!!!!
5 min to go, the deficit 5 points.
A converted Stormers try could win the game
97: Blues se skopper het ook twee sitters gemis.
If Stormpies can score here it will be game over!
Stormers attacking… penalty Stormers
5m lineout for the Stormers
TMO
Try??
Schalla scored, man!
Conversion to win the game!!!!!!
Scores level, kick to come….
Stormers 28 / 26
Stormers win
WOOOHOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Stormers, great 2nd half, Ash you see, you stayed , you win.
Final Score: DHL Stormers 28 / 26 Blues
ek weet nie of ek moet lag of huil nie!! 😀
Wragtag!!!! Ashley moes lankal al daai Stormers trui aangetrek het…..MOOI MANNE!!!!!
Congrats Stormpoppies… 2nd Half was good, scored 25 / 7 in the 2nd half.
Blues imploding spectacularly
Groot groot wen vir die Stormers om hul seisoen te red. Saders het Stormers sonder ‘n klomp sleutelspelers gewen op Stormers se tuisveld, Stormers klop Blues sonder ‘n paar sleutelspelers.
Lyk my die spanne moet die sleutelspelers drop, dan wen hulle !
super @ 112
not the best game of rugby i’ve ever seen!!
pietman @ 115
ekt amper daai jersey sommer aan my aan die brand gesteek, lol
117: Ja wat, AB’s se WB ‘choke’ is nog on ‘track’. Luke M het twee skoppe gemis en Stormers het hul kans goed gebruik. Wonder of AC vir De Jong/Sadie gaan drop en weer vir JDV/JF gaan speel ?
