Los dit nou maar manne….
SA Rugby het groot gewen vanaand… dit behoort ons almal te pas!
Maak vrede en beweeg aan
Off the posts by Pietersen… missed.
28@ The_Young_Turk:Hahaha, you go boy!
Penalty Lions, deep in their half
FFS, my tv picture never even blinked in the last game, now it’s like a freeking snow storm.
Langbek steals a Lions lineout
Eish, I fear for this injury ridden Lions team.
Both side going at it hammer and tongs, going to be some sore bodies tonight
Penalty Lions again, shot at goal
@ grootblousmile:
Sorry, you’re right Smiles. It’s just so weird that even when someone’s team wins, they are still unhappy. But I’ll drop it now.
Taute for poles.
Missed badly.
Well short
Another fast and furious game, like the Cheetahs game so far
Duvenage knocks… scrum Lions.
Frenetic pace to the game… bit error-ridden so far.
Hectic though
31: dit is reg so GBS, ek los dit, dink ek het my punt gemaak.
Terug na die rugby, Stormers lyk goed die eerste klomp minute, Leeus gaan sukkel.
TRyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Tighthead! Try! Habanero!!!
Stormers tighthead… and a Habana try….
Stormers 12 / 0 Lions
Beautifull one there by Habs. Maybe getting back some form at last?
Yeeehaa, thats Habana’s 50th Super Rugby try. Well done Boyo
Bulls and Stormers are SA’s No 1 & No 2 side… like the old tradition would have it.
Next week’s going to be a riller
Sjoe … klink of daar BAIE Stormer-ondersteuners op Ellispark is?
Early stages and the Stormers are looking good, just need to hold on to the ball, dropping too many
Stormers pinning the Lions in their half….
Can’t see the Lions getting anything out of this game. Just F all cohesion in the team.
53@ kwaailight:Really sad for me to see so many empty seats at all the SA S15 matches this year. Just shows that they’re killing the game with so much rugby
Penalty for Stormers, and Joe’s lining it up
Penalty Stormers, Pietersen going for goal… over
Stormers 15 / 0 Lions
They should pass kicking to Grant if Joe misses.
