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.

Ja, difficult to get through that defence, ne? Traai ma liewers ‘n droppie my broer…..
What an arsehole Skinstadt is!
This is all-out war
@ fender:
hahahahaha. like
Steyn het nou een botched drop kick en een swak lyn skop. Miskien begin die frustrasie van die verdediging te tel?
Ahhhh, penalty Bulls, very kickable.. come on Morné!
@ The_Young_Turk:
hahaha, what an arse indeed!
Eishhhh, missed left
Gee, Morne misses again!
Fark, Morne misses from in front.
Kirchner kicks directly out…. oi vei
die kaap se vaalwyn bende is weer goed verteenwoordig daar
This time the Stormers lineout is successful
Now Bulls also making many errors. Not a good advertisement for SA rugby at the moment!
Sorrie to say it ouens, but this is a k@k game of rugby…
Januarie knocks again… hehehe
Dewald Potgieter having a massive game
Schalla very good and dangerous as well
Stormers really missing Grant and Duvenhage
@ grootblousmile:
GBS, I dont care which team or player it is, but I think all refs have to start being a bit more lenient on that “knock-on” rul. Just a general thought…
also, what rhymes with Bobby Skinstad? Dooooooooooooooooos!
Folks, this might not be pretty but it is damn hard!
Brok Harris wins a line-out…LOL!!!
my laaity hulle se onder elf span knock minder as die stormers spelers
Penalty Bulls, ball slapped down
Bulls 6 / 3
Lemoenetyd
Well the quality of rugby from all the top teams has not been anything to write home about this weekend!
I know there is a lot to play for here from both sides, but heck this is BORING RUGBY to watch.
This game is like trench warfare, no-one giving the other an inch… brutal as all hell!
Stormers need to take off Deon Fourie. he has completely lost the plot at the line out.
@ fender:81 – hehehe. Saw that..lol.
Januarie is having a mare! They should get Duvenhage on as soon as possible but I fear he isn’t 100 percent.
