@ grootblousmile:
No, it’s “we continue playing our usual game and those bloody refs better get their perspective right”
Come On Stormpoppies!
Penalty Stormers, right in front on the 22.
jeez!! busy!! havent seen the match this far.
Fark, do they know what gates are in New Zealand – how many players in from the side through all those phases
Crusaders 19 / 16 Stormers

I know we all have to live with the injuries, but heck losing two of the best locks in one game? In the first half to boot is bloody tough.
Etzebeth has been sublime, he especially is a massive loss for Stormers. A awesome talent for Bok rugby, so hope the injury he has is not that serious.
COME ON STORMERS. Only 3 points in it now.
Damn would love Stormers to beat this Saders side.
Hahaha, TMO for that
Oops, Habana carries a ball back into his goal area… 5m scrum.
Ref asking the TMO just to make sure
And what would the difference have been if it hadn’t been grounded?
Saders with a massive chance now
Habana tot die redding.
Great defence !!
Good defence from the Stormers this time
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS Stormers defence saves them. Take that Saders…..hehehe. They really thought they would go over for a try there. NOT to be…..hehehe.
Nice one Stompies defense!
Saders penalty…. against Deon Fourie.
Shot at goal.
Nice to see Stompies scrum standing up to the top scrumming outfit in the competition.
Crusaders 22 / 16 Stormers
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Come on Stormers!
Morning All.
Unfortunate penalty that
@ Loosehead:Morning
Come on Stormers.
These Saders will tire, Stormers need to hit back with a try, that will shut them up quick.
All this kicking is fast making me lose interest in this game
Great attacking play from the Stormers.
Stormers nicely on attack now
Funny how the ref is only pinging us for off sides – just an observation
Fark, turned over
TRYYYYYYYYYY
