Goede donner!! Dit was té amper! Mooi gespeel Bulls … Stormers? … julle maak my moerig!
Bullerinas, you can hold your heads high. You could have taken the Stormpoppies.
Well deserved Stormers!!!!
Defended brilliantly.
Fantastic game, and Stormers rose to the occasion par excellance.
Geluk Stormers
Final Score: Stormers 20 / 17 Bulls
Yahooooooooooo, my weekend ends perfectly, except for the slight Lions glitch
Both you teams can be lucky you didn’t play the mighty Cheetahs today…..Mu ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Etzebeth is pure, raw talent.
Wow, I thought we’d thrown that one away, well done Stormers, showed good resolve there

@ superBul: ag Superpienk, moenie nou suurgat raak omdat jou span nie ‘n average Stormers span kon klop nie! Kan jy my joune aanbeveel? hehe!
Well, well, well…
Congrats Stormers…. but that was close!
Bulls came back from the dead and almost upset your day.
An epic, North South Clash of the Titans, not good rugby by a long way, but ferocious stuff
Fantastic game, as we all expected. Was great taking the piss out of the pink Bulls, which they really deserved – that colour is horrendous – but honestly this Bulls side is playing excellent rugby. Would love to see another final between these two sides.
GBS, ons kan seker maar nou die site se pienk afhaal, my oge begin raak ook nou seer, hehehe!
Well done Stormers and for that matter Bulls. Awesome saffa derby once again.
So where does Stormers sit now. Think they have 24 points to Bulls 20. Sharks have not had their bye points add that (we gonna get it any way) Sharks on 21 then. We are knocking on the door boys… hehehe. We have only won 3 games and sitting nicely to pounce if any team messes up from here. Bonus points sure as heck are making a difference this year.
285@ Puma:
Sorry my Sharks have won 4 games to date.
Stormers still unbeaten… the only one!
@ superBul: btw, wie is Keo?
Right I’m off to the presser, should be some lively goings on, I would think. Will post my match report tomorrow, and yes, I will use a pink bow
284 @ Pietman:
Ja, sal nou-nou… nog bietjie besig hier…
South African conference is the toughest for sure. NZ and OZ can think and say what they like, but it is there for all to see, our derby games are not for the light hearted, brutal, brutal stuff there tonight.
Just in time to see the disapointing end here but congratulations Stormers, even seeing its two tries to none and also the losing bonus point doesn’t make it feel better will read through and see how the game unfolded but must have been a tense one. Just a question it says 14-0 was score at halftime but no tries for Stormers.
289 @ Just For Kicks:
Hehehehe
Good, enjoy!
One observation and then i am out.
Morne needs a rest. This guy played in every match the last 2 years, cant remember that he rested in one. He is off his best, i dont think he is over the hill. A bit of rest will do.
Now Stormpoppies will have their first tough test away from home against the Landers. What will happen. Will that be the end of the road and expose their fragility or will they get better and better as the competition progresses. Lets hope it’s the latter but so far the jury’s still out!
@ grootPIENKsmile:
Is oorlat hulle nog nie teen die Cheetahs gespeel het nie….
292 @ Bullscot:
Sorry, foutjie… try was by Tiaan Liebenberg
@ superBul:
Have to agree with you there. But who do the Bulls have to replace him? Cronje is injured.
287@ grootPIENKsmile:
For now that is. Can’t see a team going this whole tourney without getting beat. Think they travel after this and face Chiefs next week in NZ. Will be tough to travel and play a NZ side after this very physical game tonight. Bodies will be hurting for that long, long flight to NZ. Very tough indeed.
Chiefs by 5 next week. My feeling.
Was a great Saturday’s rugby all round
