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.

@ The_Young_Turk:78 – Why is Duvenage on the bench?
I said before the match that the Stormers weaknesses lie in their halfback pairing, props and left wing and fullback…. I was only wrong about the fullback part so far…. hehehe
91@ Puma:
Duvenage was doubtful due to injury
@ Puma:
I think he isn’t 100 percent and he’s covering both scrumhalf and flyhalf. The idea was that Januarie could protect Coleman, the new flyhalf, better.
kan iemand my vertel hoe die stormers in die tweede plek gekom het met hande soos hulle sin
@ grootblousmile:
You were right and I was right about Kirchner and Spies and prettyboy 😉
95@ smallies72:Gom!
Hulle gom is nou klaar…. hahaha
2nd Half on
If grant doesn’t recover, I don’t see how the Stormers could contest the playoffs in this comp. There is just no one left at flyhalf.
Penalty Stormers, Werner Kruger pinged, not rolling away
Another kickable Stormers penalty
Coleman misses badly to the left
miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssssssss
Coleman subbed, by Duvenage
@ grootblousmile:
waars superbul ?
Time for Chiliboy to come on, I feel
For farks sake now we have our best scrumhalf to play flyhalf!
Penalty against Dean Greyling again, Stormers go for touch
105@ smallies72:
Op vakansie in Noord Natal
Penalty to the Stormers again from a Stormers maul
6 / 6
@ grootblousmile:

@ grootblousmile:104 – Jeez 🙄 Stormers are running short on fh’s..lol.
Pity, thought Duvenhage would replace Ricky.
Morné knocks… eishhh
5m scrum for the Bulls
