Go Stormers!
Farks sake. Good try by Saders and SBW
Saders 7 / 0
Penalty Stormers, 5m out
Saders 7 / 3
Stormers good attacking there but saders defense very good.
Saders getting the benefit of the refs calls. Stormers a bit too static
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyy Jaque Fourie

The game is not just about fancy off loads……..
Penalty against Jean de Villiers
Saders 10 / 8
Skew throw into the lineout by Deon Fourie
berquist kicking well. Hope Cronje doesn’t let us down with the place kicking. He’s looking good in the other aspects
Gbs, amazing post from the Pui ouk.
Firstly, where did he learn Afrikaans and secondly who did he learn it from? As we know the saying refers to ‘ugly’ and not race and is offered in jest.
Anyway, being called a racist is a new one for me.
Now back to the game: I notice that the Saders are kicking ‘pretty’ well, hey? 😉
Conrad Jantjes is the weak link…
48@ fender:
I think he used the Translate Button
Penalty Stormers, obstructive running, Elstadt taps quickly
Hard and fast game
I will let you know, I picked the Stormers on Bru, by 3…. mostly because of home ground advantage
Penalty Stormers…. offside
5m out
Gbs, my folks warned me about buttons. Good Capetonians know to stay away from the stuff.
Been on coke ever since…. 😉
Stormers should take this one
Stormers 11 / 10
55@ fender:
Golf Sticks…. dangerous goedjies those… hehehe
Damn, plenty of injuries!
Saders are a quality team no doubt. But if Stormers can maintain this intensity and not make mistakes they should pull this one off.
