Howdy Puma, he can play, but there is a gap for sure, so much of the Cheetahs momentum is sparked by Strauss. Much needed win for your team yesterday, even though it wasn’t pretty
Come on boys. Make history tonight and klap these Saders stukkend.
Crusaders 3 / 0 Stormers
Crusaders getting better and better with every match they play! Falls gently on the eye, when in full flight.
Saders looking very dangerous at this stage. Stormpoppies defense not looking so great…
Penalty Stormers, on the touchline, on Saders 22
Very good defence by the Crusaders
Saders rightly punished there.
One eyed commentators, both teams came in from the side!!!!
Crusaders 3 / 3 Stormers
Andries Langbek off injured
Nice one Grant. 3 each now.
Go Stormers.
Darn it, Langbek goes off just when he has been finding some form lately.
Daai boo-ery help niks, die Stormers is heeltemal gewoond daaraan op Nuweland ! Goeie skop Grant.
Looks pretty cold in Christchurch…. shamepies
@ Just For Kicks:commentary better be good – no live feed here – bandwidth to small!
43 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yip, he’s been pretty good at centre and on the wing… hehehhe
Commentators are heavily in Saders’ corner. This match has a bit of a test match feel- Boks vs Blacks.
Try Tom Taylor… unlocking the Stormers defence like a tin can
Try time Crusaders, but just watch the blocking again
Saders unlock Stormpoppies defense with ease
Goeie drie deur Saders.
Crusaders 10 / 3 Stormers
All from turnover. Sompies are going to look after posession more.
Peter Grant off…. for blood
Cummon Stromers…demmit, you are better than this.
If De Jonge had taken that flat ball…..
‘Saders are looking sharp indeed! Litmus test of Stormers vaunted defence
Brock got his work cut out with Crockett again
Come on Stormpoppies…. spit, spit…. you’re South Africans, dammit!
