Pieterson for posts
Penalty to the Stormers again, right near the 22, Joe going for goal again… and should slot it… and does
Over 14-3
Stormers 14 / 3 Blues
Penalty Blues, apparently head on the floor supporting him
Missed
Match evenly balanced at the moment.
Penalty Blues and whilst Anscombe is off the field Lachie Munro takes the kick…. just missed left

Shall I just continue with the Edit Thread for now, leaving you free to comment on the match?
Nice contesting by Etsebet there.
They go back for the line out
Penalty Stormers
Blues player offside after a knock by a Blues player
Pieterson lines it up, a minute left in 1st half
Stormpoppies playing intelligent rugby.
Wat, Nuweland boe hul eie skopper ?
Pieterson Boo’d as he takes the kick, off posts, Blues knock on and scrum Stormers
Anscombe back on
Ends in a penalty for the Stormers, Pieterson will get a second slice at the cake from just about the same spot
Give the bloody place kicking to Grant for pete’s sake!
Very sad when you are boo’d at your own ground
Stormers 17 / 3 Blues
Lemoenetyd
Over, 17-3 Blues. Stormers looked good this half, Blues trying the same riling tactics, but so far Stormers up to it
Stormers se wedstrydplan effektief, goeie verdediging en pen die Blues vas in hul kwartgebied.
Booing kickers from both sides?
Not a nice sound at any rugby venue……who are these people?
Think we were a bit too conservative with our scores, Smiles? Or am I speaking too soon?
Maybe Kickers had it right?
Etzebeth a truly exciting prospect, better than Langbek at the mo….
86 @ The_Young_Turk:
Fruit… maybe we were too conservative.
Stormers playing the right game plan against the Blues
Well Tapper has picked the Stompies by 3, so we can expect a big fight back by the Blues in the second half!
87 @ Pietman:
Wayyyyyy better than Langbek… and he’s sticking his hand up BIG TIME for Bokke No 4 honours!
