This game lived up to it’s hype…. a cracker!
The silky offload skills by Sonny Bill Williams, the speed and hard running by Jaque Fourie, the strong Crusaders scrum, tight defence by the Stormers… classic.

Saders scrum putting the pressure on…
Lemoenetyd
Saders scrum is very strong, but stormers are manging to weather the storm as it were.
63@ The_Young_Turk:
I can literally smell how nervous you are…. hahaha
@ grootblousmile:
Too right mate, can hardly sit in my chair! For farks sake this is a big game!
OK, so who has had a good game so far on Stormers side…. Duvenage, Duane Vermeulen, Jaque Fourie, Andries Langbek, Deon Fourie, Gio GifAplontjie… and maybe Jean de Villiers
If Saders take this it’s a big psychological blow for the ABs against the Boks
Lots of territory in the stats for the Stormers in the 1st Half
@ grootblousmile:
Right but Deon Fourie has been throwing bad in the lineouts. Also Cronje hasn’t been bad
With the saders injuries, stormpoppies should break through in the second half and finish them off with a bonus point win!
2nd Half ON!
Penalty Saders
Saders 13 / 11
Stormers sloppy mistakes, but great defense as we expect.
Stormers hard on attack…. Saders offside…. penalty
Stormers 14 / 13
The Bok midfield showing their class. Cronje showing his inexperience there.
Ou Asbakkie SMS my heeltyd, hy sê Sonny Bill Williams is ‘n weakness on defence…. ek dinkie so nie
Verbrokkel Harris on for CJ v/d Linde
Saders almost straight through
Scrum 5 for the Stormers… that is.. on their own 5
Saders looking better so far this half. Stormers seem lethargic and waiting for mistakes
Ek sien, Pro se Voete (Pro Legoete) is die een vlagman.
Saders penalty at the scrum…. they are killing the Stormers there
Berquist misses from Halfway
Penalty Stormers, on their ow 10m line
De Kock Steenkamp on for Elstadt
Good Stormers maul
Try No 2 for Wyatt Crockett
Saders deserved that try. Looking the better side in the second half..
