Daai was ‘n slegte strafskop, Gifappel het ook van die kant ingeduik.
Stormers scrum, just in their own half
FFS. Another tightie in the backline.
FUKC BACK TO YOUR CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lions have played so well this half, hardly made a mistake, or given away a penalty. Stormers are going to have to work hard to win this one
Iemand moet vir Mitchell sê hy moet sy halftyd praatjie VOOR die game begin hou !
Penalty Lions. loosehead turning in.
Lions for touch.
Jis … die scrums isse bleddie lottery!
Lions on attack again
Penalty Lions…. from the scrum.
This one is possible, but they go for touch.
5 Points is not a comfortable buffer for the Stormers
@ bdb:
hehehehe … ja … 🙂
Lions line out just not up to scratch.
….and the mistakes continue for the Stormers
Nie ‘n baie slim beweging daar van die Leeus nie.
Kom Leeus, een drie…
… and the Lions have their lineout woes again….
8 Minutes left
AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.
Early engage by the Lions, Stormers free kick… hoisted high
7 to go. Lions need a try.
Lions pinning the Stormers in their half again….
Nee Butch.
No bonus points for tries likely here
Now we see why tiaan stays on so long
Fark, new hooker cocking up the line-out throw in.
How does a hooker throw so skew, even though you may not have played for a while, dark, what do you do at practice?
Lions hard on attack… Lions knock
Leeus gaan hulself skop dat hul nie hier kon wen nie, en Stormers gaan hul skop dat hul nie vier drieë kon druk na so goeie begin nie.
Schreuder with a good touchfinder
Long range, but posts please
Stormers penalty.
Just further than halfway.
Pietersen going for goal
Shit !!!
