Ashwell thinks the Stormers were outstanding…
@ The_Young_Turk:
Don’t agree … if he did not have that off with the Falcon, we would have been treated to a rare talent blossoming … anyway … that’s all what-ifs …
117@ The_Young_Turk:
Nothing between his legs.
@ Just For Kicks:
Assamblieftog ja! I am drinking too much … nerves … hehehe
@ kwaailight:
Sigarette, whiskey, jy noem dit…
Maar alles en die glas is nou weer vol
123 @ Scrumdown:
Score sheets still wrong!
Stormers: 2 Penalties, 1 conversion
Lions: Check the spelling of Tian Meyer… 1 “a”
121@ Blouste:Then Ashwell’s my man – and that goes for anyone who thinks the Stormers are outstanding hehehe!
@ kwaailight:
Different strokes for different folks I suppose. I have had occasion to see him in person and can’t stand the wanker.
2 Nd Half ON!
….Habana missed the blocking,
Habs now kicking too much. leave the kicking to the farking kickers!
Lions need to get the stormers commiting more players to the breakdown.
Advantage Lions.
Will they go for posts now?
Penalty Lions… not too difficult
Stormers 18 / 10 Lions
James for Poles.
Over. 10 / 18 Stormers
Lyk nie of die Stormers belangstel in bonuspunte nie, want hul afrigter het mos so gesê.
Another penalty Lions.. this one kickable too
COME ON STORMERS, FARK
Penalty – Kickable.
Stormers playing Lollipop scramble now?
Jaaaaa?!? Sien nou wat gebeur as jy mak raak … julle Stormertjies moet wakker word, of julle gaan nog verloor hier!
Stomers se probleme begin by hul senterpaar, Harris en Bekker, staan te veel in die agterlyn rond en doen nie die harde werke daarvoor nie. Eben en Kolise moet al die harde werk doen.
Stormers 18 / 13 Lions
Mooi Leeutjies !!!
142: selfs Bob het dit raakgesien.
@ bdb:
Stem saam!
142 @ bdb:
Hahahaha.
Laaaang senter en ‘n vet senter….
I haven’t seen the Stormers play so badly this season, and this is meant to be an easier game. They won’t win this way
142@ bdb:
Stem 100% saam.
1 to 8 behoort nie daar nie.
Hehehe. I reckon Mitchell must have read the riot act at half time.
Different attitude.
