52: gaan ‘n riller wees, gaan vir albei baie taaier wees as vandag se wedstryde. Sal interessant wees om te sien watter gameplans gevolg gaan word.
@ Just For Kicks:
Agreed, but don’t underestimate the state of the economy also … tickets and travel don’t come cheap?
@ Just For Kicks:
Newlands has always had by far the best support of all the stadia. Don’t understand why it’s so.
Penalty Lions… against Koster
Penalty Lions, Koster off sides
Schalk going to find it hard to get back into the team, the way Kolisi is playing
@ kwaailight:
Even been that way a few years ago already.
Lions line out is an abortion.
Kan sien JDV is ‘n agterspeler, toe die ref sê los, toe los hy. As dit ‘n dom voorry was het hy geklou ! 😉
Vermeulen steals another Lions lineout
@ bdb:
As ons (Stormers) nie die stryd voorlanges wen of tenminste match nie, gaan ons moeilikheid hê … 🙂
Props at first receiver. FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Just For Kicks:
Yip, the youngster has really grabbed his chance and stepped up big time.
Kolisi is a Colossus… hehehe
63@ The_Young_Turk:I’ve been to all the matches this year, and I promise you, even Newlands is empty – only 30 00 or so.
Should be a rare five pointer for the stormers Id guess
sorry, 30 000
Penalty Stormers, against Pat Celliers who retaliated against Etsebeth’s high tackle
Stormers bring their handbags, sharing their makeup with the Lions, and come away with the penalty
Stormers 18 / 0 Lions
@ Just For Kicks:
Yip, that is not as much as usual but my point was, it’s still so much more than the others.
Koster knocks the kickoff, cold…
Lions getting a lesson in rugby today
Koster drops one, attacking scrum Lions
71: ja jongj die hele week gaan ons baklei wie die underdogs is volgende week op Ouland !
C’mon, defence Stormers
78@ grootblousmile:
Who played him off the ball.
I thought Berry was better than that.
Lions attacking hard, Stormers defence good
Penalty Lions, but great defence Stormers, but Lions take a quick one
Tryyyyy Lions??
