Stormers 8 / 3 Highlanders
I picked Stormpoppies by 6. Nice pressure try there by Stormpoppies.
Classy booing by the New Zealanders. The Cape Town All Blacks supporters club must have learn’t it from them.
29 @ The_Young_Turk:
Hello, Old Fruit!
Internet and DSTV back up, Howzit all, missed the try – GBS, I have the Stormers (obviously) by 3, I think
Flok, Langbek just HAS to fark things over in midfield from the centre berth!
Stormers het ‘n baie effektiewe wedstrydplan gebou om goeie verdediding en druk op sit, nie baie mooi nie maar effektief. As hul nou die choking kan afskud kan hul al die pad gaan.
Another scrum Free Kick to the Stormers
35 @ Just For Kicks:
Mmmmm, same as me… watch them shaft us today!
Stompies have started well as I had thought but Landers are coming back strongly. Interesting tussle!
Penalty Landers, Stormers not rolling away from the tackle… easy shot at goal
Stormers allowing the landers back in with these kickable penalties
Sitter missed… what a kak kick
Luckily Tim’s son not on song there
Stormers were lucky not to concede the 3 points there
Landers giving the Stormers defence a very stern test here
landers very strong runners, breaking a few tackles, looking dangerous!
Kolisi is everywhere, fukken everywhere. What a season he is having.
wtf….dancing smurfies?
Landers all over the Stormers like a rash at the moment, Landers with a good attacking scrum here…..ends in a penalty for the Landers – unfair
48 @ Loosehead:
You want my opinion… Kolisi is in better form than Schalkie was…
Penalty Landers, and they go for goal
Ref making a cock-up of the scrums as we’ve come to expect.
@ Just For Kicks: Tims son?
Noakes misses again
Etsebeth en Kolisi is baie goed, maar ek dink die telletubbies van die WP word te vinnig opgeskryf.
Tims son off his carbs today, giving the Stormers another let off
54@ Loosehead:Tim Noakes – no real relation!
Bekker is a joke, he should have dived onto that loose ball.
Noakes is NOT Tim’s son…. hehehehe
