Stormers (3) 16 / Bulls (6) 19 (Final Score)
The DHL Stormers hosted the Vodacom Bulls at Newlands, Cape Town at 18:10 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
This game cannot be described as rugby, it was rather trench warfare… and the Bulls won the brutal war, revenging the Stormers win of earlier in the season at Loftus.
The Bulls were just simply better in the set pieces, the rest was all equal.

Swak Piketberg!
Morné misses
Lots of handling errors by Stompies. They look very nervous, while Bulls are calm and collected.
Penalty Stormers, Kirchner playing on in the tackle… too far out
Hehehe Januarie knocks…
Nice break by Habs. Now we can expect another mistake to make up for that.
Penalty Stormers… too far out
Line-outs chaotic at the moment.
Bulls steal another Stormers lineout
1st scrum of the match
Deon Fourie’s throwing in at line out is kak, his big weakness!
Hehehe, mooi so Werner… Wicus Blaauw penalised at the scrum
RERIG? hoe de MOER is die Bulls nie al 17 punte voor nie? Lynstane: NUL, hantering: NUL!
C’mon Stormers, ffs
Old Blaauw is kakking big time in the scrums
Sjoe, too many errors from STORMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS!!!!!
Penalty against Dean Greyling, slipping the bind
Bulls steal yet another lineout, but then they get penalised for holding on the ground
hoe de OOS speel Liebenberg nie? Het AC rerig gedink die eerste 50 min van die game gaan los wees?
Coleman attempting the kick…. missed to the left
Brilliant play in line-out, Victor!!
Bulls get their own lineout with ease
@ The_Young_Turk:
for sure. Liebenberg not as flashy, but man he is so much safer.
Stormers stealing a Bulls lineout, overthrown
Now Bulls lose a critical line-out…
Penalty advantage to the Stormers, Matfield not rolling away… harsh
How in the name of all that’s holy could PdV drop Basson for this utter kak Habana????????
3 / 3
Stormers on the board at last!
