Have the Stormers woken up at last?
177 @ Loosehead:
Yip!
Some very impressive scrummaging this match by the Stormers
Is that a DOMINANT Stormers scrum?
Geez, Stompies scrum is destroying the Blues!
Knock on by the Stormers in the dying moments fluffed a try opportunity
Raait … the mongrel is back in the forwards … ek voel beter!
Carr’s speed has been deadly at this late stage…
2 Minutes to go in the match
2 minutes left, scrum Blues 7m out from their own line
JdV should rather have been man of the match instead of Habs.
Na watter scrum kyk hierdie ref?!?
Stormers all over Blues at scrum, but still concede penalty. C’mon boys, think
van Aswegen will feel that in the morning
A 10 point split would cut Tapper back a bit…. and I would still be within the 5-point marker
YESSSSS!!!
Thats it, Stormers win a thrilling match 27-17. Go boys
Well done Mountain gods to deny the Blues the bonus point!
WP het vanjaar n klomp goeie jong spelers, veral voor. Etzebeth se kniee moet net hou.
And Tapper misses the bonus point too
Woooooot…..got bru pick spot on….jay!!!
Well done to the Stormers.
Daar kak my Superbru
Final Score: Stormers 27 / 17 Blues
Blues wander over to their fans to say thank you for the support – disgusting that South Africans still find it in them that they have to support a New Zealand team
And Stormpoppies are still unbeaten. Now to face the mighty Lions in their den!
Jammer Stormers kon nie n bonuspunt optel nie…..die kanse was goed, maar 20 minute in die tweede helfte het hulle bietjie laat slaple.
@ Just For Kicks:
Agree totally … speaks of bad character … 🙁
Stormers are top of the log.
201@ bos_otter:Good man, we need some new leadership up top there!
is nou nóg meer teleurgesteld mettie Bulls se forward-display teen die Blues laasweek … pizzies …
