Stoot hom Stormers!
Scrumdown, this one is yours.
Remember to put the minutes in (next to the scores) and to remove the time (from the heading).
Moer hulle Stompies!
Come on Lions. Time to wake from the slumber and play some Rugger.
Injuries se moer. Let’s stow these Stormers that the CC was no fluke.
Stormpoppies should win and big too… picked them by 17 on Bru
2@ grootblousmile:
I’ll try my very best.
Die klomp daar op Voldy’s sny seker nou polste omdat die Bulle so ver gewen het.
GOOOOOOO StormerSSSSSSSSS!
Kaapies coming out.
Players coming out.. Tiaan Liebenberg coming out first for his 50th Super Rugby cap
7 @ bdb:
Hehehehe
Sal settle vir ‘n konserwatiewe, tight game … mette wen … hoef nie groot te wees nie … bonuspunt sal bonus wees … maar met minimum beserings … dit sal cool wees. Vir die Stormers that is … 🙂
Game starts.
Well… I’m neutral for this one… with a tinge of hope that the Bulls might top the Log after tonight
@ kwaailight:Good man!
@ bdb:
It’s called projection, mate. You think everyone thinks like you. Some of us are saffers first and we support all saffer teams that are playing well.
Geez I wish the Lions would ditch the yellow numbers.
Stormers hard on attack.
looks like a try.
JISSSSS!!!
Try Tiaan Liebenberg?
TMO
Looked a good try
Try time, will show it on TMO. But thats one for Liebenberg

Stormers 7 / 0 Lions
Ek wil net noem … ek isse Stormers-fan, maar het die Lions laasjaar aangeneem as my ‘fallback-team’ na ek die Cheetahs gedrop het … so ek het respek virrie Leeutjies!
It’s good. Good start by the boys
Nice one Stormpoppies!
23 @ kwaailight:
Geniet die game, kwaaitjie!
16: ons noem dit eerlikheid YT, jou opmerkings teen die Bulle en hul ondersteuners is nie in lyn met jou ‘thinking’ en pro SAFFA standpunt nie.
@ bdb:
Oh for Floks’ sake. The victim mentality is so boring mate.
Fukc me, Duvenhage put that ball in under the Locks feet.
Pieterson going for goal
